Ice at the Micro-scale: 20-25 July, 2025

Monte Verita, Ascona, Switzerland

Regular attendees: 180CHF, Phd students 120CHF

Ice formation is a crucial factor in many fields, ranging from cryopreservation to cloud formation, materials science and civil engineering in cold climates. While the effects of freezing in such fields are often seen at the macro-scale, it is widely recognized that the key processes that control freezing are found at the micro-scale: for example, ice nucleation, recrystallization, protein/ice interactions, solutes and colloid effects, and ice growth in confinement. This conference aims to bring together a diverse range of leading researchers from different communities (both academic and industrial) to share their latest research on such topics.
