This DiStruc scientific training consists of a day packed with lectures covering a selected range of topics. It is a continuation of the training that took place in Heraklion and it is addressed mainly to the DiStruc fellows. However, there are limited positions available for graduate students and postdocs who wish to attend. This session is offered as an add-on to the Playing Colloidal Mikado workshop. For more information on how to register and the registration fees, please visit the registration page.
