The conference will be an interdisciplinary discussion meeting on patterns
and geometry, and their role in biological and synthetic microstructured
materials and tissue. We invite contributions from biology, chemistry,
materials science, mathematics, physics and related fields addressing
the genesis, properties and function of complex nano-scale geometries,
as well as underlying geometric and topological concepts for the study
of complex structure and shape.
The conference will run from Monday morning 14 September 2015 to the
late afternoon of Friday 18 September and will feature an extended
poster session, 15-20 contributed talks as well as invited lectures
by.
The conference is hosted at the Technical University of Berlin on

Philhamonie, Opera Houses, Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin Television Tower
and other famous sites are within a few kilometers walking distance and
are easily accessible via public transport that connects all of inner
Berlin - from vibrant Prenzlauer Berg to Gendarmenmarkt at the heart
of Berlin. All lectures and the poster session will take place at the
Institute of Mathematics, Strasse des 17. Juni 136.
We are inviting abstracts for contributed oral presentations and for
posters. We encourage you to use the latex-template on the website
and to include both attractive images
and references in your abstract. The deadline for abstract submission
is 31 May 2015, Registration will open 15 June 2015.
We are hopeful of encouraging people from a wide variety of scientific
and mathematical backgrounds to attend. Any queries can be addressed
to the organising committee at shape-up@math.tu-berlin.de.
