1. Summary

The workshop “Tackling Complexity of the Nano/Bio Interface – Computational and Experimental Approaches” was held at the University of Bremen, Germany from June 12^th to 16^th 2017. In total, 72 participants from Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Ireland, Luxemburg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, France, Germany, UK and US attended the workshop.

The programme consisted of 28 invited lectures, one poster session presenting 27 posters and many events (reception / conference dinner) to allow for informal exchange. The lectures were scheduled to last 40 min, including 5-10 min discussion time. In addition to this extended time for discussion, the chairpersons were instructed to introduce the subject of the session and to actively participate in the discussion. This “Gordon-conference-style” was essential to guarantee a vivid discussion. The organizers ensured that well-established scientists acted as invited speakers and chairpersons.
