Make and Measure: Interfaces 2026

Interfaces. Understanding molecules, materials, and reactions at interfaces creates fruitful contacts between “Make" and "Measure” that we will explore in a new edition of a successful conference, organized by junior researchers at HU with a history of over a decade!  On September 16-18, 2026, we will discuss these and other topics, as well as your own research publicly with invited guests, including: Christa Brosseau (Halifax, Canada), Ana Guilherme Buzanich (Berlin, Germany), Petra Hellwig (Strasbourg, France), Ulrich Keyser (Cambridge, UK), Jian-Feng Li (Xiamen, China), Tom Lindtner (Berlin, Germany), Katarzyna Majzner (Kraków, Poland), Clara Marshall (Berlin, Germany), Tilmann Neubert (Jena, Germany), Silvia Vignolini (Potsdam, Germany), Julia Weinstein (Sheffield, UK). Join us, and together with the SALSA Fellows identify new /inter/ faces of research fields, disciplines, institutions, and people! Register with a poster and a flash talk, you may win an award! Visit Haus für Poesie with us for an off-site event including dinner.
