History

FINESS began as a workshop focused on theoretical methods for describing superfluid dynamics in finite-temperature ultra-cold gases. 

 

The founding meeting for FINESS was held in Sandbjerg, Denmark, in 2007, and involved 30 participants. The field of ultra-cold gases was maturing rapidly, and Fermi gases were attracting significant attention. The focus was primarily on theoretical techniques.

 

In recent years FINESS has attracted more than 100 participants and involved an increasingly diverse range of topics at the intersection of experiment and theory, as the field of ultra-cold matter has continued to expand apace.
