      abstract     = {Soft matter is ubiquitous in a vast range of technological
                      applications and is of fundamental relevance in such diverse
                      fields as chemical, environmental, and food industry as well
                      as life sciences. Over the past years, soft matter science
                      has been largely extended in its scope from more traditional
                      areas such as colloids and polymers to the study of
                      biological systems, soft nanoscale materials, and the
                      development of novel composites and microfluidic devices.
                      Soft and biological materials share fundamental structural
                      and dynamical features including a rich variety of
                      morphologies and non-equilibrium phenomena,
                      self-organisation, an unusual friction-dominated flow
                      dynamics, and a high sensitivity to external fields. These
                      properties emerge from the co operative interplay of many
                      degrees of freedom, with spatio-temporal correlations that
                      can span a huge range from nano- to millimetres and
                      nanoseconds to days. The key requirements for the
                      advancement in the field of these highly complex soft
                      materials are: $\bullet$ The development of novel
                      experimental techniques to study properties of individual
                      components in processes and the co operative behavior of
                      many interacting constituents. The synthesis of complex
                      materials, self-organized and biomimetic systems with novel
                      or unusual properties will broaden the spectrum of
                      applications. $\bullet$ The exploration of advanced
                      theoretical and computer simulation methods that span the
                      large range of time and length scales and allow to cope with
                      an increasing complexity of molecular constituents. Existing
                      methods need to be extended and new approaches are required
                      to describe systems far from equilibrium, e.g., in life
                      sciences and material processing. $\bullet$ Structural and
                      novel functional properties of soft and biological materials
                      need to be studied invoking self-organization and
                      hierarchical structure formation, entropic particle
                      interactions and fluid-like aspects of biological materials
                      such as vesicles and cells. $\bullet$ The unusual dynamics
                      of complex fluids requires special approaches to gain
                      insight into diffusion transport properties, rheology and
                      mesoscopic flow behavior, which are influenced by a delicate
                      interplay of hydrodynamic interactions, thermal
                      flllctliations, and external fields. The present course is
                      dedicated to $\textbf{Soft Matter: From Synthetic to
                      Biological Materials}$, a subject rarely treated in
                      textbooks. It covers a broad spectrum of experimental and
                      theoretical techniques and concepts, and addresses colloidal
                      systems and biological materials on very different length
                      and time scales. Due to the restricted time span for the
                      lectures, not all topics can be treated to full extent.
                      Notwithstanding this limitation, the school provides an
                      introduction into and a survey on the broad field of Soft
                      Matter systems. [...]},
