THE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME

The structure of the School & Conference this year will be slightly changed as follows.

In the first week we shall have mainly school programme consisting of five 5-hours lecture courses (each hour 60 minutes):

  1. Predrag Cvitanović, Atlanta, USA: Fluid dynamics and turbulence
  2. Thomas Guhr, Duisburg-Essen, Germany: Econophysics
  3. Tomaž Prosen, Ljubljana, Slovenia:Nonequilibrium classical and quantum statistical mechanics
  4. Aneta Stefanovska, Lancaster, England: Nonlinear dynamics of life: nonautonomous systems, biological oscillators, cellular, cardiovascular and brain dynamics and interactions
  5. Hans-Jürgen Stöckmann, Marburg, Germany: Quantum chaos and random matrix theories

Nevertheless, there will be also some conference presentations and/or short two-hours lecture courses.

In the second week we shall have mainly the conference programme, but nevertheless the lectures will still be at the colloquium level, thus including a good introduction for the nonspecialists and general physics audience. There might be also a few additional mini lecture courses (2 hours each).

The session for short reports (contributed talks) presented by the participants will be mainly on Saturday 2 July 2011 in the morning until lunch time. The posters will be on display during the entire period of the School/Conference, that is two weeks.
