behaviours in various areas of science. This has led to the field of
“complex systems” which, for the methods involved and the problems
addressed, is intrinsically inter-disciplinary. This meeting is aimed
to PhD students and Post-doctoral researchers from all sciences who
share an interest in interdisciplinary work. The meeting consists in a
series of short-talks (30m) and a poster session. You may find a
detailed schedule in the following:
