 Aim and Scope 

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the state of the art in biophysical properties, function and interactions of chromatin fiber at different length and time scales. The aim is to bring together leaders in the field and younger scientists, to discuss informally how to push the boundaries of these aspects. Participants will include theoreticians and experimentalists. Speakers are encouraged to present work in progress and discuss speculative ideas. The program will include introductory lectures on essential theoretical aspects followed by talks on current research, discussion on critical issues and poster sessions.
