Do not hesitate to contact the <a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">CECAM Event Manager</a> if you have any question.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Description</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nComplex fluids are ubiquitous in biology, geophysics, and industry [1]. These materials are challenging to characterize and predict [1–4], particularly when they incorporate multiple interfaces, as in colloidal suspensions [4], foams [5–7], or nanoporous membranes [8–10]. Many of these interfaces are micro- or nano-scale and evolve over short times, which can obscure them to observation and pose challenges to experimentalists [2–5, 11, 12]. This opens exciting opportunities for a strong partnership between the development of novel theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques.<br>\r\nProbing interfaces presents unique challenges compared to probing complex fluids in the bulk. The interfacial structure and constitutive behavior then depend on the composition of two fluids as well as the interfacial configuration [13, 14]. Translating this increased complexity to a computational framework involves developing reliable models describing molecular interactions near fluid-fluid or fluid-solid interfaces [15–17], as well as models for continuum stresses [18]. Molecular modeling is necessary to reveal the physics of chemically-complex structures [17], but is computationally expensive, and it can be challenging to identify the relevant physics to include [19]. Yet the interface also provides unique opportunities for control: in liquid crystals, for example, interfacial stresses can be transmitted through the bulk, leading to novel pattern formation [20] and optical materials exploiting interfacial control [21]. Finally, interfaces are prone to instabilities, which can make flows unpredictable, but opens opportunities to exploit unstable growth for spontaneous patterning.<br>\r\nTo underscore the present challenges, even for a “simple” Newtonian fluid, the presence of an interface may hinder understanding of flow mechanics. For example, mechanisms for contact during drop impact are still debated [22]: molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can clarify which effects dominate among interfacial instabilities, electrostatic charge, gas-kinetic effects, and other driving forces [22–26], in addition to liquid/surface chemistry [27, 28]. Diffusive processes at interfaces [29] and nanoscale membrane flows, where osmotic and phoretic effects are significant [11, 30], also require further development in MD or coarse-grained models.<br>\r\n <br>\r\n<strong>This workshop aims to foster exchanges around the following </strong><strong>broad questions:</strong>\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li>How do <strong>molecular phenomena</strong><strong> </strong>determine the <strong>structural properties and interfacial dynamics </strong>of complex fluid interfaces?</li>\r\n\t<li>How do we approach <strong>a rigorous, robust, and predictive upscaling </strong>between non-continuum computational approaches (e.g. MD, coarse-grained models), which are computationally costly, and large-scale systems? Can we extract universal quantities or concepts from MD to be used in a continuum model? Are these potential quantities intrinsic properties or do they depend on the flow configuration and hence require an ad hoc calibration for each flow situation?</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>How can emerging experimental and computational techniques inform our understanding of </strong><strong>interfacial instabilities in complex fluids? </strong>Can we account for instabilities arising from molecular and meso-scales in a macroscopic stability analysis?</li>\r\n\t<li>Is it possible to <strong>incorporate microscopic effects into macroscopic models </strong>which 'go beyond' the conventional Navier-Stokes-Fourier paradigm? For example, can effective viscosities adequately account for molecular effects, or can noise terms incorporate thermal fluctuations? Can these models be captured by extending existing computational approaches, or do they require entirely new frameworks?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>The list of confirmed speakers will be announced in February. </strong>In addition, a limited number of abstracts may be submitted for the poster session – submissions will open in February.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.3c03727\" target=\"_blank\">[1] L.

Similarly, out-of-equilibrium dissipative colloidal systems subjected to an external energy injection often develop nontrivial collective dynamics and self-organize into large scale structures, which are far more complex than their equilibrium counterparts [1-17]. The main sources of such emergent behavior are the many-body dissipative interactions between colloids (e. g. steric, electrostatic, magnetic), the external energy injection, and the coupling of particles dynamics through the fluid flow around them. Collective dynamics and self-organization in out-of-equilibrium colloidal systems (often termed as <em>active colloids</em>) is a rapidly growing area of research which led to the discovery of novel dynamic architectures and functionalities that are not generally available at equilibrium.<br>\r\n Colloidal systems have been the subject of intense research for a long time due to their ubiquitous technological applications. Colloidal particles display Brownian motion, size in the visible wavelength and dynamics in experimentally accessible timeframes (milliseconds to seconds) making them an attractive platform for the experiments and the computational modeling. The pair interactions between particles can be easily adjusted in strength and range by applying relatively small external fields. When driven by external forces or an internal energy source, colloids can mimic motile biological entities and can serve as a testbed for exploring the rich and complex physics of out-of-equilibrium systems. These dissipative colloidal structures utilize energy to generate and maintain structural complexity. Experiments and numerical simulations along this line of research have often revealed nontrivial collective dynamics and emergent large-scale structures [1-17]. With the proposed workshop we would like to provide a platform for discussing several new and important trends in this field of active colloidal materials, that is, chirality, non-reciprocity, and memory.<br>\r\nA recent hot trend in the field of active colloids explores the emergence of coherent motion and self-organization in systems with chirality [5-11]. Chirality is an intrinsic fundamental property of many natural and synthetic systems. Colloidal particles driven by external torques [12-18] constitute an ideal model system to investigate these phenomena since they avoid the inherent complexity of biological active matter. Spinning particles dispersed in a fluid represent a special class of artificial active systems that inject vorticity at the microscopic level [19-25]. Dense collections of interacting spinning particles represent a chiral fluid [26], which breaks parity and time-reversal symmetries, and displays a novel viscosity feature called the odd viscosity and elasticity [27, 28]. The odd viscosity has been identified in interacting chiral spinners [29], and it led to remarkable effects such as production of flow perpendicular to the pressure [27], topological waves [30], or the emergence of edge currents [29]. Magnetic rollers dynamically assemble into a vortex under harmonic confinement, that spontaneously selects a sense of rotation and is capable of chirality switching [31,32]. Multiple motile vortices unbound from any confinement have been revealed in ensembles of magnetic rollers powered by a uniaxial field [33]. Oscillating chiral flows were generated when a roller liquid was coupled to fixed obstacles [34]. There has been an increasing effort to investigate collective phenomena in systems composed of chiral active units [11, 35-40]. Synchronized self-assembled magnetic spinners at the liquid interface revealed structural transitions from liquid to nearly crystalline states and demonstrated reconfigurability coupled to a self-healing behavior [41]. Activity-induced synchronization leading to a mutual flocking, and chiral self- sorting has been observed in modeled ensembles of self-propelled circle swimmers [42]. Shape anisotropic particles powered by the Quincke phenomenon led to the realization of chiral rollers (similar to circle swimmers) with spontaneously selected handedness of their motion and activity-dependent curvature of trajectories [43].<br>\r\nAnother fast-developing direction in the field of non-equilibrium active and driven colloids is the realization of systems characterized by non-reciprocity of interactions or memory effects and how they can lead to emerging collective phenomena. Due to the intrinsic nonequilibrium nature of active systems, the couplings between particles often deviate from the standard form derivable from a Hamiltonian. One intriguing example is a time-delayed coupling involving a discrete delay time (or a distribution of such times). Such a situation arises, for example, through a delay in communication or sensing, and can be artificially created via a feedback loop [44]. Another topic attracting a lot of attention in the community is based on active systems with nonreciprocal couplings that can arise, for example, through chemotaxis or phoretic interactions between self-propelling colloids [45], or through predator-prey or vision-cone interactions [46,47] in macroscopic active systems. On the collective level, is now well established that non-reciprocity can induce new types of phase transitions [48] and patterns with broken time- and parity symmetry, including travelling patterns [49,50] and globally chiral motion without chirality of the individual constituents [51]. While many of these studies have been pursued only at a mean field-theoretical level, there is also an increasing interest in understanding corresponding particle-scale effects, that can only be accessed by numerical simulations [52] or corresponding experiments. For example, non-reciprocal interactions may generate new types of self-assembled systems able to learn and to produce transition between different shapes [53]. Establishing the precise connection between the different length and time scales is still an important challenge. Here, computer simulations are an indispensable tool.<br>\r\nMany standard models of active motion implicitly assume an inert (equilibrium) environment yielding instantaneous friction and noise. In contrast, several recent studies [54,19] explore the impact of retarded friction as it arises in viscoelastic environments made, e.g., of polymers, liquid crystals, or biological tissues [55-57]. An extreme case is time-delay [44]. From a theoretical and computational perspective, retarded friction or, more generally, non-Markovian dynamics, still provides a severe challenge. This concerns, e.g., the extraction (or modelling) of memory kernels, but also the actual solution of the coupled equations of motion, each being subject to history effects. As a consequence, only few studies on the emerging collective behavior of active particles with memory are currently available, including collective effects in systems of feedback-driven colloids [58] and pattern formation in a non-Newtonian active system [59]. Advancing numerical methods capable of treating memory effects will become more and more important in view of the recent experimental progress in this field. Experimentally, the memory effects in the system can be induced, e.g., by temporal activity modulations at intermediate timescales of the interactions in the colloidal ensemble [60]. Such modulations generate active particles with partial memory (at the particle level) of their motion from the previous activity cycles (either through partial depolarization or remnant hydrodynamic flows induced by the particle motion). Novel dynamic patterns (such as localized multiple vortices, flocks, pulsating lattices) has been revealed in ensembles of Quinke rollers [60,61]. When coupled to the fluid flows, active particle with memory can produce activity shockwaves [62]. Also, it has been recently demonstrated that active colloidal ensembles realized by Quinke rollers can effectively develop “ensemble memory”, where the information about the dynamic state of the system is distributed over the whole ensemble [63]. This information can be effectively exploited to command subsequent collective polar states of the active colloidal ensemble through activity cycling [63] and can pave the way toward direct applications in different technological fields related to microfluidics and microrobotics.<br>\r\nDeveloping fundamental understanding of the complex colloidal dynamics in systems driven out-of-equilibrium by external fields represents a significant theoretical and computational challenge as it involves multi-body interactions, the overlapping of length- and timescales, and the coupling of particle interactions with the fluid flow. Some of the features may be understood using phenomenological using continuum descriptions [21-23] Nevertheless, the microscopic mechanisms leading to the dynamic self-assembly and their relations to the emergent behavior in active colloidal fluids with chirality, non-reciprocal interactions, and memory often remain unclear. <em>Computer simulations are practically the only method to theoretically investigate such questions. </em>However, modeling of the nonequilibrium dynamics presents a formidable computational challenge due to the complex many- body interactions and collective dynamics at different time and lengths scales. One of the main challenges is to properly account for the particle-fluid coupling. On a coarse-grained level, the fluid flow around colloids is modeled by molecular dynamics methods like Lattice-Boltzmann [64] and Multi Particle Collision Dynamics [65,66]. An alternative approach is to describe the colloidal dynamics by molecular dynamics simulation, or an amplitude equation (Ginzburg-Landau type equation) coupled to the Navier-Stokes equations describing large-scale time- averaged hydrodynamic flows induced by the colloids [67,68].<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Reference</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n[1] B.

The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles [1] ensure that scientific data can be shared and reutilized, providing an efficient route for accumulating data and taking advantage of these powerful techniques. FAIR data management allows essential knowledge to be systematically extracted from data, accelerating discoveries and innovations across various domains [2]. Furthermore, open science is essential for the verifiability and reproducibility of results and has been a topic of major discussion over the last decade. In materials science, data-driven methodologies, coupled with the appropriate FAIR data management practices, are invaluable for the discovery of new materials due to the vast combinatorial space of chemical systems that emerge from the periodic table [3, 4]. Such methodologies have been successfully applied, e.g., to design and predict new materials with desired properties using ab-initio ground state simulations, i.e., data generated from Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations [5]. However, there remains a critical gap in replicating this success in the context of other simulation frameworks. <br>\r\nTheoretical spectroscopy and Green's function method simulations [6, 7], including data simulated using the GW approximation, Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT), the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE), Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT), and Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR), pose especially difficult challenges in the context of FAIR data management. These simulations not only involve extensive computational resources and produce large datasets with associated complex workflows but are also executed using a large variety of public and in-house simulation software. At the same time, these methodologies are essential for understanding excited state properties of complex materials; they are more accurate than DFT calculations and provide better comparisons with experimental results since they incorporate excited states and electronic correlation effects in a more consistent manner [8]. <br>\r\nThere has recently been a number of individual efforts to improve the accessibility of data produced by theoretical spectroscopy and Green’s function methods through the usage of publicly accessible databases. For example, the Computational Materials Repository (CMR) [9] contains several individual databases, amongst which the Computational 2D Materials Database (C2DB) [10] contains GW and BSE data for a specific set of parameters and properties. The MaterialsCloud [11] database has some individual datasets published for these methodologies, however there is not a clear data structure for them. The NIST-JARVIS [12] database has a specific app for BeyondDFT simulations with DMFT data, but only for a specific simulation code. By making datasets findable, these efforts aim to avoid redundant computations and thus build upon existing work more efficiently. While these efforts represent an important step in the right direction, they fall short of fully achieving their goal due to a continued lack of consistency (i.e., <em>interoperability</em>) between individual databases. Moreover, these self-managed databases typically lack the ability to store the complete provenance of the simulated workflow, which is essential to ensure reproducibility. <br>\r\nRecently, FAIRmat [13], a consortium of the German research data infrastructure (NFDI) association, was formed to construct a scalable data infrastructure for Materials Science that can be easily customized for individual communities. This infrastructure consists of a primary software and repository called NOMAD [14]—a free web-service that enables the organization, analysis, sharing, and publishing of materials science data. One of the tasks within FAIRmat’s scope is to build support for theoretical spectroscopy and Green’s function simulations within NOMAD. Support for several of these methodologies have now been successfully built, and there already exists over 10 000 entries in the NOMAD repository containing GW [15], BSE [16], and DMFT [17] data, along with the full provenance of the corresponding complex workflows. The next step to developing a FAIR data infrastructure for these methods is to tackle the interoperability problem.<br>\r\nInteroperability within this domain is extremely challenging due to the heterogeneous character of theoretical spectroscopy and Green’s function simulations. Consequently, the adoption of common structures (e.g., describing the Green’s function, the self-energy, or the dielectric function) is the key for improving interoperability. Thus, various members of the community, including method developers, materials and data scientists, and data management experts, must come together to reach a consensus on specific common data structures.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://cmr.fysik.dtu.dk/\" target=\"_blank\">[1] Computational Materials Repository (CMR) website</a><br>\r\n<a href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-48169-5\" target=\"_blank\">[2] S.
