News

• The Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden (MPIPKS, MPG) and the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, Palma de Mallorca (IFISC, CSIC-UIB) announce the launch of a joint workshop program on "Trends in Complex Systems". The program consists of a series of IFISC-MPIPKS workshops under the scientific direction of renowned scientists to be held in Mallorca and Dresden. The Program will run initially during the period 2008-2010. Proposals 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. The deadline for the submission of proposals for workshops in 2009 is July 31, 2008.
