Introduction
Water is one of the most important substances of life, but the detailed structure and dynamical properties at interfaces is far from well understood. Many fundamental questions in physics, chemistry and biology are directly related to the chemical and physical properties of interfacial water. Due to the complex nature of the problem, to understand interfacial water, one needs to resort to many different experimental techniques as well as theoretical methods. We believe that collaborations of many different fields will be required to gain understanding on aqueous interface which has many scientifically, environmentally and technologically important applications. The aim of this workshop is to promote water research as well as to critically address some of the recent developments in the field of liquid water and aqueous interfaces.
