SCARF Winter Workshop – SCattering, Acoustics & Radiation Forces

 

Château d’Oex, 1-5 March 2027 (Switzerland) From Monday evening to Friday morning, spanning 4 nights and 3 full days

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 invited and contributed talks by leading scientists, 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.

Abstract submission is open!
The registration fee is CHF 725 per person for an all-inclusive stay. This includes 4 nights in comfortable shared rooms in the chalet, 4 breakfasts, 4 dinners, 2 lunches, visitor tax, and workshop fees. One lunch is not included, as that time will be left free for activities. Payment will only be requested after abstract acceptance.
