Trends in Complex Systems

Joint Workshop Program between the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC)
and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPIPKS)

Initiated for three years (2008-2010) in order to conduct workshops in Palma
and Dresden on current topics in the field of physics of complex systems.

The Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden (MPIPKS) hosts up to fifteen workshops and seminars annually which attract nearly fifteen hundred visitors from all around the world. The Institute provides an ideal venue for the exchange of ideas among senior scientists, young researchers and students.

The Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems in Palma de Mallorca (IFISC) is a joint research Institute of the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) created to promote interdisciplinary and strategic research from the perspective of physicists. It also aims to build a reference space for creative and strong interacting workshops.

Applications are invited for workshops in all research areas related to the physics of complex systems.
Priority will be given to frontier subjects which develop rapidly and to new interdisciplinary topics.
Workshops will extend over one week. Participation will be limited to 60-80 persons. Each workshop will consist of talks on advanced topics, discussions, and exploratory research for new scientific collaborations. Local costs of all accepted participants are covered by the local organizing institute.

Deadline for the submission of applications for workshops in 2010 is May 31, 2009.
