The Priority Program 2171 is developing the basic physical understanding of dynamic wetting processes on flexible, adaptive and switchable surfaces. Beside its mainfocus on the wetting dynamics of simple, low-molecular-weight liquids, also mixtures of simple liquids and diluted suspensions can be considered. Such systems offer novel coupling mechanisms through their internal degrees of freedom and are common in applications. They also occur in biophysical contexts. The priority program establishes the prerequisites for the future control of dynamic wetting processes in a variety of applications.The Coordination Funds shall continue to provide the means for a coherent realisation of the highly cooperative and interdisciplinary priority program. It shall provide means that allow all participants to develop their collaborations and share their results within the SPP and beyond. Main measures include the organisation of the scientific exchange between the individual projects; support of the training of junior researchers through central events, by promoting individual exchanges, and through local training events; further extension of the SPP's structured collection of hands-on tutorials, research data and algorithms that foster interdisciplinary cooperation and lower entry thresholds for junior researchers; organisation of the presentation of the scientific results of the SPP to the international scientific community and the general public; administration of the support for junior researchers within the SPP; and management of measures for family-friendliness and gender equality within the SPP.
