5 march 2012
Location: Trippenhuis, Kloveniersburgwal 29, 1011 JV Amsterdam. Time: 9.30 hrs - 20.00 hrs
The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) together with the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) will organize a symposium concerning fundamentals and applications of complexity science.
How can we manage the financial crisis? How do infection diseases spread or do languages develop? What can we learn from social networks? Surprisingly evolutionary dynamics of cancer and the emergence of human culture can be described with similar mathematical theories. On the other hand, can phenomena such as human behaviour and societal systems be approached the same as phenomena like biological systems and complex man-made systems? What are essential messages and methods developed from complexity science? Internationally recognized experts in the field of complexity research will introduce several topics and current state of the art.
