With the international symposium "From Pattern Formation to Turbulence" we want to bring together scientists from the fields of turbulence and pattern formation research. The studied subjects here include physical, geo- and astro-physical, chemical and biological systems. The main purpose of the meeting is to provide an environment to promote intensive exchange of knowledge and ideas from various fields related to pattern formation at different scales. The anticipated outcome of the symposium is the establishment of new research directions and collaborations in the investigation of the complex spatio-temporal dynamics of different systems, mainly in condensed matter physics and biology.
