Dear SoftComp Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that abstract submission is now officially open for the Microfluidic Horizons 2026 conference, which will take place in Padua (Italy) on 18–22 May 2026.

The conference will convene brilliant experts from physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering to explore the frontiers of microfluidics and its applications across diverse domains. Microfluidic Horizons 2026 will provide a unique platform for researchers to share their latest findings, exchange ideas, and forge collaborations that could catalyze the next wave of innovation in this cross-disciplinary field.

For more information, please visit the conference website: https://www.microfluidics2026.it/

In addition to the conference, we are excited to host a series of pre-conference short courses on May 16 and 17, 2026, tailored for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. These interactive sessions will provide a solid conceptual and practical foundation in microfluidics and its application to the life sciences, enabling participants to actively engage in the conference discussions and gain valuable insights from leading experts.
