Workshop COSENO

WORKSHOP COSENO

Complex Systems and Emerging Networks, organized by the COSENO initiative within the Department of Physics at the University of Trento, as part of our strategic plan.
This workshop is open to researchers from all departments and institutions. Our goal is to foster collaboration, spark innovative research directions, and build a dynamic community around the rapidly evolving science of complexity.

Scientific scope:
The workshop will explore recent breakthroughs in the understanding of complex systems, where interactions among components give rise to emergent phenomena with wide-ranging implications — from materials science and artificial intelligence to life sciences and beyond.
Key themes will include: 
- Theoretical Advances: Statistical mechanics of spin glasses (classical and quantum), disordered systems, many-body phases, nonlinear and quantum chaos, and pattern formation in biological/social networks.
- Experimental Frontiers: Optical spectroscopy, advanced microscopy, and large-scale studies of wave propagation in disordered media, neuromorphic computing, and hybrid biological/artificial systems.
- AI & Data-Driven Discovery: Machine learning methods to model complex data, predict emergent behaviors, and optimize next-generation technologies.

Workshop Format and Logistics:
Dates: October 3–4, 2025
Venue: Hotel Monte Bondone, Via dei Falchi, 19, Vaneze (TN)
Talks: 20-minute presentations with ample time for discussion
Style: A retreat-like setting designed to promote interaction, open exchange of ideas, and community building
Registration: Free of charge, subject to room availability.
To register, please fill out the online form by July 29, 2025:

We will evaluate the proposed contributions and select the talks based on relevance and balance across the thematic areas.

Who should attend?
We welcome:
- Researchers and students in fundamental or applied physics of complex systems
- Scholars working across disciplines including nanotechnology, biophysics, AI, and materials science
- Anyone exploring emerging technologies with scientific or industrial applications

Come join us for two days of exchange, inspiration, and collaboration as we explore the frontiers of complexity science together.

Looking forward to your participation!
