The Abdus Salam ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the Master in the Physics of Complex Systems (http://www.polito.it/pcs) organize the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 20 May to 14 June 2013.
This Spring College is part of the Master program in Physics of Complex Systems, and aims at giving Master and PhD students the opportunity to get in touch with a selection of topics at the forefront of research, during an intensive 4-weeks program.
Courses and Lecturers:
