Second Lake Como School on Advances in Complex Systems

The Center for Complexity and Biosystems organises the second school on Advances in Complex Systems in Como. The first edition of the school took place in the summer of 2015 The scope of the school series is to present recent advances in complex systems discussing applications of statistical mechanics of non-equilibrium and disordered systems, theories of complex networks and other stochastic systems to different topics in materials science, social sciences, biology and biomedical research. The broad choice of interdisciplinary topics is designed to expose the students to some of the multiple facets of complex systems theory. The 2017 edition of the school will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to tissue regeneration, chromatin conformations and telomeres, bio-inspired materials, protein aggregation and complex networks in health sciences.

Lecturers: L. Amaral, M. Ben Amar, N. Dokholian, J. Griffith, J. Holly, S. Huang, M. Labouesse, T. Liedl, F. MacKintosh, L. Mirny, G. Tiana, J. Urbach, A. Vespignani

The school is open to 40 Ph. D. students or postdocs working in complex systems and related fields. All applicants have to fill out the application form, including a short CV with list of publications and the motivation for their participation to the School, before March 1, 2017. The Complex Systems Society is funding two fellowships covering the registration fee to the School on Advances in Complex Systems. Perspective participants who wish to apply for a fellowship should indicate this in the application form. To receive a fellowship participants are requested to become members of the CSS. Selection will be based on the CV and the motivation letter of the applicants. Selected candidates will be expected to deliver a short talk at the school.
