Both oral and poster presentations will be accepted on topics relating to:

• Confined and anomalous dynamics in porous, supramolecular, and biological systems
• New methods to probe dynamics in confinement (scattering, NMR, optical probes, and direct-imaging techniques)
• Diffusion and reactions in confinement
• Adsorption and phase transitions of simple and complex fluids at interfaces
• Microfluidics and hydrodynamics near solid surfaces
• Friction and structural properties of fluids under shear
• Dynamic force spectroscopy and manipulation of individual atoms and molecules
• Motility in confinedbiological and biomimetic systems
• Numerical modeling and computational techniques of confined systems
• Synthesis and design of new confined geometries and supramolecular systems
