This workshop will bring together researchers at the forefront of Soft Condensed Matter Science to discuss the current state of the field and to explore promising future directions, including openings toward biomolecular science and nano-science. It will also celebrate the 60th birthdays of Paul Chaikin and Tom Lubensky, two of our colleagues who not only have produced a definitive text on condensed matter physics, but who also have had immense influence on charting the evolution of soft condensed matter science.
