The two day workshop "PWA90: Emergent Frontiers of Condensed Matter" will be held at Princeton University, 14th-15th December 2013, to bring together world leaders in the area of emergence in condensed and biological matter and to mark the achievements of Professor Philip W. Anderson. The event will frame the grand challenges of emergence that face the community today, combining forward looking research talks and panel discussions with presentations of a historical perspective, examining the areas of physics in which Professor Anderson has made seminal contributions to modern science. Science makes often makes strides by using the perspective and pedagogy of past achievement to provide direction and inspiration for future challenge. This occasion provides an unparalleled opportunity to frame today's frontier challenges in physics, condensed matter and biological matter, providing what is possibly the last opportunity of our science community to commune with Anderson, the co-inventor of the term "Condensed Matter Physics" and one of the great contributors to our modern understanding and the philosophical underpinning of collective, emergent behavior in physics. This event will provide a unique opportunity to summarize the current status of understanding of emergent behavior. The material presented as part of this event will be published as a proceedings with World Scientific, providing a lasting record of a unique research event. The perspective provided by this meeting will help frame the big questions and research in this area for future researchers to push back the frontiers of emergent materials research.

为期两天的研讨会“PWA90：凝聚态物质的新兴前沿”将于2013年12月14日至15日在普林斯顿大学举行，汇集了凝聚态物质和生物物质新兴领域的世界领导人，并纪念Philip W. Anderson教授的成就。该活动将讨论当今科学界面临的巨大挑战，结合前瞻性的研究讲座和小组讨论以及历史视角的介绍，考察安德森教授为现代科学做出开创性贡献的物理学领域。科学的进步往往是通过利用过去成就的观点和教学法来为未来的挑战提供方向和灵感。这一场合提供了一个无与伦比的机会来构建今天在物理学、凝聚态物质和生物物质方面的前沿挑战，提供了可能是我们科学界与安德森交流的最后机会，安德森是“凝聚态物理”一词的共同发明者，也是我们现代理解和物理学集体涌现行为的哲学基础的伟大贡献者之一。这次活动将提供一个独特的机会来总结当前对突发行为的理解。作为该活动一部分的材料将作为《世界科学》杂志的论文集发表，为这一独特的研究活动提供持久的记录。本次会议提供的观点将有助于构建该领域的重大问题和研究，为未来的研究人员推动新兴材料研究的前沿。
