The meeting will be a 3 day workshop on "Materials and Complexity" to be held at the ANU Kioloa campus.

This workshop title encompasses a wide range of topics of highly interdisciplinary nature relevant to nano length scales and connecting the morphology of materials with their physical/chemical properties.

Each of the three workshop days will stand under a particular theme as follows:

• Day 1: Nanotechnology
• Day 2: Advanced Materials
• Day 3: Complex systems

The program follows an established and successful recipe for stimulating discussions. All participating students and ECRs are encouraged to give a talk on their research project.

There will be two international invited speakers:

• Paul T. Callaghan, FRS (Prof and Head, MaDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, Victoria University of Wellington)
• Klaus R. Mecke (Prof and Head of Theoretical Physics, University of Neurnberg-Erlangen)
