This ‘5th International Workshop on Dynamics in Confinement – CONFIT 2022’ aims at summarizing the status of the research by spectroscopic methods, theoretical concepts and computer simulations. Like the previous four CONFIT workshops it will promote collaboration among scientists working in this field. We encourage scientists working in the preparation and characterisation of such confinements as well as researchers involved in industrial applications, for which the understanding of the microscopic dynamics is of importance, to participate in this workshop.
