Welcome on the website of the 4th edition of the PSL Soft and Living Matter days! This event will take place from July 3rd to 4th 2023 at Ecole Normale Supérieure (amphi Dussane) and will give the opportunity to the PSL community to learn and discuss about research activities in the broad field of Soft Matter with a special focus on colloids in 2024

"Hard and soft, active and passive colloids"

In addition to the exciting line of speakers (see below), we will have several topical sessions with contributed talks and one apero-poster session. So we count on you to register to the event and submit an abstract! 

Deadline for registration and abstract submission May 30th 2024
