 onfinement is relevant to various disciplines\, ranging from the natural s
 ciences via the life sciences to the material science field. Confinement e
 ffects have far-reaching influences. They shape efficient hydrodynamic flo
 ws\, deepen the understanding of biological processes\, advance carbon cap
 ture technologies\, and provide new chemical reactivities. So far\, much o
 f the research has focused on demonstrating the importance of confinement 
 in physical and chemical systems while neglecting the fundamental principl
 es that govern these effects. Thus\, not much is known about how and why e
 xactly confinement effects modulate key physical phenomena\, alter reactiv
 ities\, or change product selectivity and material properties. As a result
 \, essential questions remain unanswered — what are the underlying physi
 cal mechanisms at play in confinement\, and how do they alter atomic inter
 actions and influence dynamical properties?Whereas selected specific cases
  and systems have been studied by experimental computational means\, the p
 rediction of confinement effects remains challenging due to a lack of gene
 ral rules and a common language. With the help of the WE-Heraeus foundatio
 n\, we will bring together experimentalists and theoreticians to discuss r
 ecent findings\, match these with confinement effects in 2D\, 1D\, or 0D s
 paces\, and develop general guidelines that will be applied in calculation
 s and machine learning.In the interdisciplinary WE-Heraeus seminar\, we wi
 ll connect early career researchers with established scientists to create 
 solid scientific networks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference language will
  be English. The Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation bears the cost of ful
 l-board accommodation for all participants.\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://indico.we-h
