Italian National Conference on
Condensed Matter Physics
(Including Optics, Photonics, Liquids, Soft Matter)
09-13 september 2013
CONFERENCE PROGRAM
FisMat 2013 will host the annual Conferences of the Italian Society for Synchrotron Radiation
Light (SILS) and of the Italian Society for Neutron Spectroscopy (SISN).
Dear colleagues,
it’s a great pleasure for me to welcome all of you at FisMat 2013, the Italian
conference on condensed matter physics and related fields. The conference is held at
the Politecnico di Milano, which in 2013 is celebrating its 150th anniversary.
The motivation which inspired all the people involved in the organization of this
event has been the desire to bring under the same roof a large fraction of the Italian
scientists working in this field of research, independently from their affiliation. We
believe that our effort has been rewarded as testified by the 800 contributions
received from researchers working in many Italian and foreign institutions. These
contributions cover a large spectrum of arguments, many of them moving across the
border that separates physics from other branches of science such as chemistry,
biology, medicine, cultural heritage.
The relevance of all this is that, after nearly a decade, for the Italian community of
low energy physics this is the first chance to meet again after the suppression of
INFM, the Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter, a dramatic event that caused a
diaspora that has never been recovered. Our hope is that this conference will give to
all of us the possibility to see what’s going outside our laboratory and stimulate the
reestablishment of links between the research groups and the creation of research
networks for better facing the strongly competitive international scenario. And, at the
end, we’ll see, if they are roses they will bloom.
