General Information
 The main aim of this Meeting is to convene the leading experts in the field to discuss
and revise, in an appropriate atmosphere, the state of the art and the most recent advances in the
field of non-linear systems, and more concretely of the transport phenomena of ratchet type.
The main aim of this Meeting is to convene the leading experts in the field to discuss
and revise, in an appropriate atmosphere, the state of the art and the most recent advances in the
field of non-linear systems, and more concretely of the transport phenomena of ratchet type.
The main topics to be considered will be:
Ratchet effect in superconductors, optical lattices, molecular motors. Control mechanism of ratchets,
the corresponding biophysics and biomathematics of molecular motors, application of the ratchet effect in
nano and biotechnology and optical lattices.
 Invited talks will be focused on the ratchet mechanism in different systems and also
on its applications in biology, nanotechnology, optical lattices, etc.
