Description: Since the pioneering work of I. Prigogine (Nobel Prize in Physics, 1977), it has been widely recognized that any system with spatial interactions and temporal dynamics can spontaneously self-organize. This process requires a delicate balance between energy inputs and losses, as well as between repulsive and attractive interactions. Over the past decades, significant advancements have been made in understanding these fundamental ingredients, leading to the discovery of numerous patterns across nearly all fields of modern science, collectively known as "dissipative structures." Despite the universal nature of this concept, scientific communities have tended to remain isolated, with limited interdisciplinary exchanges, even though the modeling tools and methods are largely shared across domains.
This workshop aims to bring together internationally renowned scientists from various research fields whose past or current work has contributed to establishing universal tools and methods for studying nonequilibrium dynamic systems. The goal is to foster a common reflection on the emerging trends and perspectives in this domain, addressing key current challenges, such as the predictability and control of dynamic behaviors.
The event will feature invited speakers delivering presentations open to the general public.
Scientific Context: The formation of self-organized structures in open systems, whether living or non-living, has been a growing area of scientific interest for nearly half a century. This interest is well justified by the advances it has enabled in chemistry, hydrodynamics, optics, biology, and other fields. Despite these advancements, significant challenges remain in understanding increasingly complex and interconnected systems. In this context, there is a pressing need to develop new theoretical and experimental methodologies and tools to address these challenges.
