About the Conference
The last decade has witnessed a rapid development and extension of methods for analysing data, and modeling and predicting complex systems. Many examples represent the strong interactive and fruitful exchange between the scientific communities, which usually gather on more disciplinary and special conferences. Moreover, in the last (almost) three years the possibilities of exchange were hampered by COVID19 pandemic. The virtual meetings are helpful to partly cover the gap but are not a suitable replacement, because the social interactions are very limited in the virtual space. Therefore, with a strong interdisciplinary focus, the conference brings together leading scientists with senior and young researchers who deal with nonlinear dynamics, complex systems, machine learning, and their applications for data analysis and modeling in different disciplines. Moreover, the conference, organised on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Prof. Jürgen Kurths, provides a platform to exchange ideas, knowledge, and new aspects on research in these fields and to allow young researchers to catch up to the frontiers in this research.
The event will take place at the Einstein Campus in Potsdam (Telegraphenberg), close to the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), March 15–17, 2023. Although, the conference will be organised as an on-site event and the participants will be strongly motivated to join in person, we will provide a virtual participation for some exceptional cases. In the event of increasing concerns due to a new COVID19 wave, the conference will be postponed to another timing of minimal COVID19 risk.
The conference programme will cover three days with nine (plus one) sessions. Five of them will consist of three oral presentations (for 15 invited keynote talks in total) and four sessions are reserved for minisymposia. An additional session will be reserved for poster presentations.
The social programme at March 16th will provide an opportunity to meet former colleagues and alumni of the group of Prof. Kurths. If you would like to contribute to the social programme, please let us know until January 15th.
