C3 symposia

At this symposium, we focus on two broad themes: Sociophysics and Biocomplexity, across a diverse range of topics studied in Complex Systems:

• collective behaviour (opinion dynamics, swarm intelligence, active matter)
• nonlinear dynamics and critical phenomena
• anthropocene transitions (urban science, systemic risks, supply chains, economics)
• information theory and thermodynamics
• artificial intelligence and pattern discovery
• computational neuroscience and complex networks

For a full list of topics, see the Program.

At this symposium, we considered a diverse range of systems, applications, theoretical and practical approaches to computational modelling of modern complex systems. These included:

• information theory
• agent-based simulation
• network theory
• nonlinear dynamics
• swarm intelligence
• evolutionary methods
• computational neuroscience
• econophysics.
