Revision as of 00:02, 29 April 2018

FRET and Beyond - 2018 has ended and we submit to your attention the summary below.

The video recordings of 17 Plenary Lectures are also given below.

We ask you to consider the first call for:

Henry Ford Building, Freie Universität Berlin, Garystraße 35, Lecture Hall A (GPS: 52.4479001, 13.278758) [1]

Registration Fee:

€300 (least developed countries)*

€495 (junior researchers, postdocs & Ph.D. students)

€595 (senior researchers)

€795 (industry)

A great success of a first Förster Resonance Energy Transfer and Beyond meeting (FRET & Beyond) in May of 2018 and encouragement by many researchers across diverse disciplines supports the need for upcoming second FRET & Beyond - 2019 conference.

This time we will meet on April 4th through 7th, 2019 in Henry Ford Building, Freie Universität Berlin, Garystraße 35, Germany.

FRET's amazing and sustained growth in the past years, it's interdisciplinary nature confirms researchers fundamental interest in further studies and experiments. The deadline for registration and abstract submission is January 11th, 2019.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Thank you very much for your kind, interesting, and –most importantly –scientific input in advancing of FRET understanding during the conference.

During the meeting, we not only learned about the advancement of the quantum-mechanical understanding of energy transfer phenomenon but also their applications in gaining insight into the nature of the micro-world.

We also had an interesting and enlighting panel discussion concerning the question of Molecular-Scale Circuits: Realistic Goal or Vain Illusion?

I will not describe here the highlights of each invited and plenary lecture – let the authors speak for themselves in the form of video-recorded lectures (see below).

The meeting was a success on all scientific and personal levels, and we have decided to continue and invite interested researchers to an upcoming Annual Conference – 2 FRET & Beyond – 2019; April 4th through 7th, 2019. This time, we invite you to Freie Universität Berlin, Germany.

(Technical remark: due to the different technicalities and requirements of each individual presentation we were unable to develop a coherent format for a video presentation of lectures.)
