The Institute for Complexity Sciences supports research in Complexity domains, promoting knowledge in interdisciplinary subjects and applying scientific methodologies to socially relevant problems.
ICC goals:
a) Promote interdisciplinary collaboration in scientific domains where the notion of complexity has an essential role, such as :
--- Net structure and dynamics;
--- Languages, computation and system simulation;
--- Socio-economic system dynamics;
--- Natural computation and new computational techniques;
--- Auto-organization: organisms and aggregates;
--- Management and development of resources;
b) Support the development of a common language between mathematicians, physicians, economists, sociologists, biologists, linguists and computation scientists, as well as to maintain a forum, opened to researchers in the above domains, allowing crossed fertilization of their disciplines;
c) Provide services to the community;
d) Cooperate with public and private entities, concerning mutual interests in the domain of research, education and services to community;
e) Promote contacts and cooperation with foreign universities and research centers and international entities;
f) Organize advanced education courses;
To attain its goals, ICC must develop the following activities:
a ) Research projects;
b) Seminars, conferences and similar activities;
c) Publications;
d) Advanced education courses and research direction.
