This field combines all materials, which are characterized by structures on typicallength scales between nanometers and micrometers. Due to the large structural length scale, the number density of their translational degrees of freedom is many orders of magnitude smaller than far an ardinary, molecular material. This and the weak interactions between the structural units, which is typically on the order of the thermal energy k$_{B}$T, implies that these materials are easily deformable by external farces - they are soft. As a few examples we want to mention here ink, milk, blood, detergents, plastics, and glue. The growing together of the different, previously disjoint areas of $\textit{Soft Matter}$ arises on one hand from the recognition of the same underlying mechanisms in the structure and the properties of these systems, and on the other hand from the combination of many of these components in a single material. Examples are polymer-colloid mixtur es such as ink, or the cell membranes of biological ceIls, in which a large number of different, cooperative components are involved. Essential aspects of $\text{Soft Matter}$ are the self-assembly of the elementary units to larger, complex aggregates, the cooperative interplay of a large number of degrees of freedom, and the important role of thermal fluctuations. Due to the large range of relevant length-, time- and energy scales, and the large number of cooperating degrees of freedom, the experimental and theoretical investigations to gain an understanding of the properties of these materials are very challenging. Research in the field of $\textit{Soft Matter}$ is an interdisciplinary enterprise. This includes chemistry, which with the synthesis of increasingly complex moleeules provides the buileling blocks for new materials. Physics provieles the methods to investigate the properties of soft materials, anel aims at reaching a detailed understanding of the connection between the molecular units and their interaction, and the observed macroscopic properties. Some of the investigated quest ions are derived from, or have implications, for example, far pharmacology or cell and molecular biology. As far as applications are concerned, material science is interested in finding materials with properties, which can be custom-tailored and tuned over a wide range. As in previous years, the IFF winter school has been organized in collaboration with several universities in Nordrhein-Westfalen. We are very grateful to our colleagues [...]
