Complex Motion in Fluids 2026

Welcome to the 13th international Summer School Complex Motion in Fluids (CMiF) organized by Technical University of Denmark in collaboration with University of Cambridge (UK), Ecole Polytechnique (F), and University of Twente (NL) continuing more than 20 years of history of CMiF summer schools. Please download the CMiF 2026 flyer (hi-res pdf 18 MB, low-res pdf 3 MB) for distribution among colleagues, postdocs, and students.

Program (pdf)
The topics for 2026 include microfluidics for biology and technology, fluid-solid interactions, and soft Earth geophysics, and they are presented by seven international lecturers each giving a set of  one 1½-hour and one 1-hour lecture (see the program). Traditionally, all attendees (PhD students, postdocs, and researchers) are presenting their own research in a 12-minutes contributed talk and/or at one of the two poster sessions.

Book of abstracts (92 pages, 94 MB, pdf)
The book of abstracts contains the program, an index, and the abstracts of the invited lecturers and the contributed posters.
