4th Annual French Complex Systems Summer School Paris, August 2nd to 20th, 2010
website: http://iscpif.fr/CSSS2010
This new series of international Complex Systems Summer School (CSSS2010) set in France is co-organized by the two French Institutes: Complex Systems Institute Paris Île-de-France (ISC-PIF) & Complex Systems Institute Rhône-Alpes (IXXI), in coordination with the overarching National Network of Complex Systems (RNSC) and with the support of the european coordination action ASSYST. This year, the summer school will take place in Paris at the ISC-PIF: 57-59 rue Lhomond, 75005, Paris, France.
The aim of the school is to provide in-depth reference courses to a multi-disciplinary audience of researchers and students. The level of lectures will range from introductory to advanced, as attendees are not expected to be familiar with all the fields covered. Lecture topics will address specific objects from various disciplines pertaining to complex systems (physics, biology, sociology, etc.), or interdisciplinary tools and methods (mathematical, computational), or both.
