School on complex systems (5-6 July)
The first-ever StatPhys satellite meeting hosted in Africa aims to bridge the African and International scientific communities in statistical physics, data science, nonlinear dynamics, and related applications, and provide ground for reciprocal knowledge and cross-fertilization.

 

Grasping an effective understanding of the behavior of complex systems is recognized as a major strategic issue in the development of modern societies as well as an outstanding challenge to modern physics and data science applications. Different approaches germinated in statistical physics, data science, and nonlinear dynamics have proven to provide reliable models to describe a variety of complex evolutions successfully. The meeting aims to bring together scientists from a broad range of fields who are willing to exchange their experience in dealing with both fundamental and applicative problems. A two-day intense school on complex systems will forego the main workshop to favor African students' participation.
