The workshop will be held at The Church House of the Protestant Academy Baden in Bad Herrenalb in the Black Forest near Karlsruhe (Germany).

The conference marks the beginning of a new research group  "Geometry and Physics of Spatial Random Systems", funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). The idea is to emphasize and promote inter-relations between stochastic geometry and physics.  The workshop focuses on new trends and developments in stochastic geometry and on  conceptual relationships between geometric and physical properties of  spatially structured matter, such as granular media and liquid foams.
