SCARF Winter Workshop – SCattering, Acoustics & Radiation Forces

Château d’Oex, 1-5 March 2027

This winter workshop will bring together researchers working across wave physics, with a particular focus on complex acoustic phenomena, including scattering, imaging, wavefront shaping, radiation forces, acoustofluidics, micromanipulation, and biomedical applications. By gathering a multidisciplinary community in a Swiss Alps chalet for three days and four nights, the meeting is designed to encourage both scientific exchange and informal discussions.

The program will feature keynote lectures by leading scientists, invited and contributed talks, and a poster session highlighting recent results from participants. Researchers will be able to apply for oral presentations and/or posters; priority for contributed talks will be given to PIs and postdoctoral researchers, while a limited number of PhD students may be selected for an upgraded oral presentation based on their poster submission. Beyond the formal sessions, the workshop will place special emphasis on discussion, networking, and cross-disciplinary interaction, taking full advantage of the residential format to create a friendly and stimulating scientific atmosphere.

Registrations will open in summer 2026, with more information coming soon.
