XIII GEFENOL-DIFENSC Summer School on Statistical Physics of Complex Systems
to October 10, 2025
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS (FOR POSTER AND/OR CONTRIBUTED TALK PRESENTATIONS) HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 14th, 2025. CONSEQUENTLY, RESOLUTIONS FOR NEW APPLICATIONS WILL BE POSTPONED TO SEPTEMBER 17th, 2025 AND CONFIRMATION OF ACCEPTANCE MUST BE SENT BY SEPTEMBER 21st, 2025.
Notice that this school takes place one week after the CS3 Summer School. The schools are coordinated and participants are encouraged to attend both of them. Registration is independent.
Introduction
Statistical physics allows for the understanding of macroscopic collective phenomena in physical systems. But the tools and concepts developed by statistical physics are of key importance in the understanding of complex systems, which are also characterized by emergent and collective phenomena arising from many interacting parts.
While the basic body of knowledge of statistical physics is well described in textbooks, the applications to open problems in complex systems are beyond the scope of those textbooks. Aiming at bridging this gap, the GEFENOL (now DIFENSC) promoted in 2011 its Summer School on Statistical Physics of Complex Systems.
GEFENOL was the Topical Group on Statistical and Nonlinear Physics of the Royal Spanish Physical Society (RSEF), which has recently transformed into the Division on Statistical and Nonlinear Physics and Complex Systems (DIFENSC) of the RSEF.
The school is open to predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers, as well as to any academic interested in new research topics. It consists of four main courses, complemented by hands-on sessions, seminars, presentations by the attendants, and social activities, following the spirit and format of precedent successful editions (Palma de Mallorca, Benasque, Barcelona, Pamplona, Santander, and Madrid; 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024).
The language of all activities will be English.

scam warning
We are aware of a number of current scams targeting participants at CRM activities concerning registration or accommodation bookings. If you are approached by a third party (eg travellerpoint.org, Conference Committee, Global Travel Experts or Royal Visit) asking for booking or payment details, please ignore them.
Please remember:
i) CRM never uses third parties to do our administration for events: messages will come directly from CRM staff
ii) CRM will never ask participants for credit card or bank details
iii) If you have any doubt about an email you receive please get in touch
