The focus of this conference will be the biophysics of the mitotic spindle, with emphasis on self-organization and forces in the spindle over different biological contexts. Our goal is to bring together scientists working on cell biology and quantitative imaging of the spindle, in vitro reconstitution of spindle subsystems, and theoretical models that link these experiments to provide new insights. The last three conferences on the same topic had great success, with many outstanding speakers who gave inspiring talks and ample opportunity for discussions and interdisciplinary exchange.

Dubrovnik is an old city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia. Known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is one of the most prominent tourist resorts of the Mediterranean, surrounded by a brilliant-blue seascape, charming beaches and idyllic islands.
Dubrovnik has rich and fascinating history with many wonderful Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance churches, aristocratic palaces, red-roofed townhouses, and magnificent monasteries. It's known for its distinctive Old Town, encircled with massive stone walls completed in the 16th century, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The origins of the Croatian language and its classic literature can be traced back here, and the city remains an epicentre of culture, art, music and science.
