Description The purpose of the Workshop is to bring together researchers working on various aspects of disordered systems and those working on spontaneous coherence effects in optical systems, in particular Bose-Einstein condensation of polaritons and random lasing. TOPICS:

• Polariton BEC in disorder;
• Atomic BEC in disorder;
• Disordered photonics and random lasing;
• Anderson localization;
• Disordered superconductors;
• Glasses.

In addition to the invited talks, contributed oral presentations and posters by participants are also most welcome. Should you be interested, kindly submit a short one-page abstract along with your online application form.
