Dear Fellow Researchers, while wishing you interesting FRET and Beyond meeting, we describe below all pertinent information. However, do not hesitate to ask our stewards and/or supporting organizational staff. Kind regards, Scientific and Organizational Committees.
2 Scope
The meeting will be focused on being an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier research in FRET and Beyond. We support and encourage the discussions to take place after each scientific talk, where meeting attendees debate the ideas presented to foster a dynamic scientific exchange. Since we are looking for excellence and scientific leadership, the number of meeting participants by invitation will be limited. The leadership starts in the mind, where ideas precede actions. We aspire to formulate leap forward questions, a big questions programme, rather than communicating transient findings.

5 Topics
The Förster Resonance Energy Transfer and Beyond conference focuses on the fundamentals of FRET & B ranging from molecular, through biological till practical applications and investigations. The meeting emphasizes on developing a new theoretical, experimental and practical understanding of FRET & B. The burgeoning use of classical FRET methods calls for closer look at beyond FRET problems in this highly multidisciplinary pursuit.
