The workshop is part of the 20th scientific event series “Rencontres du Vietnam” with nearly 40 events. The Rencontres du Vietnam Scientific Association is a non-governmental organization operating in the field of science and education, founded in France in 1993 by Professor Tran Thanh Van and has become an official partner of UNESCO since 2012. The International Workshop on “Soft Materials, Fluids and Interfacial Surfaces” provides an academic forum for scientists to present, participate in exchanges and discuss the latest discoveries in the field of soft materials, fluids and interfacial surfaces.

Jean-Francois Joanny is a French physicist, Professor at Collège de France/France.

This event encourages Vietnamese scientists to integrate with the international scientific community, as well as creates conditions and nurtures passion for science in the young generation.
