Guanajuato, Gto., August 22, 2016.- With the mean to articulate a scientific collaboration source between different groups in the world, the Second International Workshop of Matter Out of Balance was inaugurated.

The event, organized by the University of Guanajuato (UG), Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, UNAM, CONACyT, Sociedad Americana de Física and Centro Mesoamericano de Física Teórica, will have more than 20 national and international speakers of great scientific transcendence.

UG's General Rector, Dr. Luis Felipe Guerrero Agripino, welcomed and congratulated who made this encounter possible. He recognized the collaboration between students and professors, who will be able to start a dialogue that derives in knowledge, that imposes challenges for the analysis of new research lines.

This workshop has the objective to encourage the scientific development, as well as identifying the challenges of the study of matter and its states of thermodynamic balances focused to technological development and its applications in the sectors of health, food, energetic and social.

The Rector of Campus León from UG, Dr. Carlos Hidalgo Valadez, said that this workshop represents a great effort from the professors and highlighted that the Division of Science and Engineering of such Campus is one of the fundamental pillars for the development of this disciplinary branch with great national and international impact.

The UG professor and member of the organizing committee of the workshop, Dr. Marco Laurati, remembered he decided to be a part of this since in the last edition was impressed by the high level and great potential of the research activities made in Mexico.

Representing the international participants, the professor and researcher of the California Institute of Technology, Dr. John Brady, thanked for the event's organization and expressed that the topic to talk about, is more than an academic subject, since matter out of balance is a physical phenomenon which is present in matter and energy both.

Members of the Mexican Network of Soft Condensed Matter also participated, which is composed by professors and researchers from universities of several states and whose objective is to promote the most efficient use of the experimental, computing and human infrastructure in Mexico.

Attended to the event, the Director of Support for Research and Postgraduate from UG, Dr. Mauro Napsuciale Mendívil; UG's professor and researcher, Dr. Ramón Castañeda Priego; Director of Science and Engineering of Campus León, Dr. David Yves Ghislain Delepine; and representatives of diverse national and internationally acknowledged institutions.
