ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the International Master Course in Physics of Complex Systems (PCS), and with the financial support of Politecnico di Torino and Capital Fund Management, Paris, are organizing the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 15 February to 12 March 2027.
Many complex systems in physics, biology, engineering and economics are characterised by a large number of interacting degrees of freedom, giving rise to a non-trivial collective behaviour. The theoretical and computational tools for a quantitative analysis of complex systems are often rooted in modern theoretical physics. The Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems aims to expose students to a selection of topics at the forefront of research during an intensive, 4-week programme.
The Spring College is part of the PCS Master programme and it is open to qualified Master and PhD students, and to young researchers.
