This workshop will focus on recent developments and ideas to control Casimir and van der Waals interactions both in surface-surface and atom-surface contexts.

Topics of interest will be:

• Casimir Neutralization and Repulsion
• Critical Casimir Forces
• Dynamic Control
• Novel Casimir Materials
• Micro and Nano Applications, etc.

Discussions among theorists and experimentalists will be fostered.

Posters will be on display for part of the conference.  There will not be a formal poster session.  Poster abstracts are now being accepted on the Registration page.

This will be a satellite workshop of the QFEXT '09 conference.
