INTERDISCIPLINARY SEMINARS

Presentation

The Center for Nonlinear Phenomena and Complex Systems organizes a series of seminars whose aim is to promote scientific exchange among the various components of the center. They are organized on a monthly basis and consist of 45 minutes talks during which the speaker is expected to present its subject to the other fields of research of the center.

This series is aimed at interdisciplinarity also in the way speakers present their work, aware of the diverse audience comprising, among others, biologists, chemists and physicists, and could hopefully stimulate interactive cooperation between scientists of the various groups.

Organizer: Pierre de Buyl
