Summer school on Living Active Matter 2026

Dans le cadre des mois thématiques, le laboratoire LPTM organise avec le soutien de l'institut CYAS à la MIR de Neuville-sur-Oise une université d'été de 3 semaines, intitulée "Living Active Matter".

Organisateurs :

Fernando Peruani, LPTM, CYU (France)
Igor Aronson, Pennsylvania State University (US), fellow-in-residence CYAS et LPTM

Soutien local/Organisateurs :

Swarnajit Chatterjee, LPTM, CYU (France)
Rodrigo Saavedra, LPTM, CYU (France)


This interdisciplinary summer school aims to train and connect a new generation of researchers from physics, biology, and related fields, bringing together PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to tackle fundamental questions about how living and synthetic active systems generate, organize, and propagate collective behavior far from equilibrium, from the self-organization of biological matter to the emergence of intelligent and information-driven dynamics.
