From September 14 to Septemebr 16, 2016, the ‘Jožef Stefan’ Institute hosted the 6th Workshop on Liquid Crystals for Photonics, which brought together world first class scientists, in particular physicists, chemists and engineers, involved in photonic applications of liquid crystals. The workshop was co-organised by the ‘Jožef Stefan’ Institute and by the Group for Physics of Soft and Partially Ordered Matter from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Ljubljana.

Matjaž Humar from Condensed Matter Physics department at Jožef Stefan Institute won 1st Place Poster Prize at prestigious Nobel Laureate Meeting 2016. The meeting has taken place in Lindau, Germany from 26. June to 1. July. There were 400 invited young scientists from 80 countries and 29 Nobel laureates attending the 66. Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. The attendees of the meeting are carefully selected by a committee giving priority to young scientists who are strongly committed to science and research. This year meeting was focused on physics. Matjaž presented a poster about lasers embedded into single live cells. His poster got the most votes given by the young scientists and Nobel laureates.
