Background
Equilibrium statistical physics provides an extremely powerful and universal formalism for describing the behaviour of many-particle systems in thermal equilibrium, but we have no counterpart of such a theory for non-equilibrium systems. Since most systems and processes found in nature are out of equilibrium, such a theory, if it can be formulated, will have an enormous impact. Indeed the large interest in the field of Stochastic Thermodynamics stems from the fact that, under certain restrictions and assumptions, it provides a general theory for small out-of-equilibrium systems which generalizes fundamental equilibrium concepts such as the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, current fluctuations and linear response to the non-equilibrium domain.
Currently the interest of the statistical physics community is divided broadly into expanding the field of stochastic thermodynamics to encompass an even larger class of systems, as well as to understand costs, trade-offs and constraints in the process of measuring or manipulating non-equilibrium systems. An understanding of these issues could definitely lead to many applications but also to new insights into non-equilibrium behaviour. In this program we aim to discuss these topics.

Setup
This program aims at discussing the latest developments and open problems in understanding the fundamental costs, constraints and trade-offs which characterize the thermodynamic behavior of non-equilibrium systems. It is set up in a casual and informal way with two (maximal three) presentations scheduled per day (probably in the morning, about 60 min each). In that way, there will be ample time for discussions and for working on particular questions that may arise during the course of the program.
Registration
Registration is open now! Deadline: Aug 31, 2024
To apply for participation in the program, please fill in the application form.
You will be informed by the organizers shortly after the application deadline whether your application has been approved. Due to space restrictions, the total number of participants is strictly limited.
Invited speakers are of course automatically approved, but need to register anyway.
We have a limited amount of funds available, which we will mainly use for providing accommodation for participants. However, we unfortunately cannot guarantee to provide free accommodation to all participants. We thus kindly ask you to cover travel expenses yourself, and contact the organizers about possible travel support only if this is completely impossible.
