This workshop will bring together researchers from around the world to identify and explore the grand challenges in experimental soft condensed matter science. The study of soft matter embraces a vast array of topics. It includes, but is not limited to, liquid crystals, polymers, colloids, foams and other complex fluids, granular matter, fluid mechanics, rheology, pattern formation, meta-materials, self assembly, active matter, jamming and glasses, surfactants, some aspects of biological matter, membranes and nano-materials. In essence, it includes any area in condensed matter that does not necessarily require for its investigation the use of quantum mechanics. It has a home in physics, chemistry, chemical and mechanical engineering, materials science and applied mathematics. It has implications for areas of science as far afield as astrophysics on the largest scales and nuclear physics at the smallest. This workshop, whose results will appear in a formal report, will capture the excitement and promise of this rapidly growing field of research.

本次研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的研究人员，共同识别和探索实验软凝聚态科学中的巨大挑战。软物质的研究涵盖了广泛的主题。 它包括但不限于液晶、聚合物、胶体、泡沫和其他复杂流体、颗粒物质、流体力学、流变学、图案形成、超材料、自组装、活性物质、干扰物和玻璃、表面活性剂、一些生物物质、膜和纳米材料方面。 本质上，它包括凝聚态物质中不需要使用量子力学进行研究的任何区域。 它在物理、化学、化学和机械工程、材料科学和应用数学方面占有一席之地。 它对科学领域的影响远至最大尺度的天体物理学和最小尺度的核物理学。本次研讨会的结果将出现在正式报告中，将体现这一快速发展的研究领域的兴奋和前景。
