Cost Workshop: Experimental Flowing Matter
The goal of COST Action MP1305 is to stimulate the interaction between the different scientific communities working on Flowing Matter: Complex fluids (suspensions, granular materials, glasses, rheology), active matter (biological and synthetic micro-swimmers, bird flocks, insect swarms), and complex flows (turbulence, chaotic flows). This workshop will focus on experimental aspects of all three themes, and will foster the exchange of ideas and support new collaborations between different communities.
