Crystallisation and self-assembly are everyday phenomena with great industrial and environmental importance. The underlying process of a drop in free energy leading to ordering is exhibited by a very wide range of systems. Given the breadth of the phenomenon, from soft matter (colloidal crystallisation, protein crystallisation, self-assembly of active colloids, DNA origami panels), to nanoparticles, water, biomolecules and biomineralization, (such as bones, shells and coral), the possibility of cross-fertilisation of ideas between different fields is immense, and this forms a central theme of this workshop.
