Workshop in memory of Prof. Grégoire Nicolis on "Nonlinear Phenomena and Complex Systems"
workshop
This workshop will be dedicated to the memory of Grégoire NICOLIS who passed away on October 18, 2018. Grégoire Nicolis was a pioneer in the science of nonlinear phenomena and complex systems, who published many influential publications in this area. His contributions are known worldwide for having initiated a vast field of research unifying the physical sciences in our understanding of the emergence by nonlinear bifurcations of stationary, oscillating, and chaotic spatio-temporal structures from chemistry and physics to biological systems, neuroscience, meteorology and climate science. Today, this vast field is blossoming internationally and we hope to commemorate Grégoire Nicolis’ contributions to these advances at this workshop. The workshop will also have the aim to establish the state of the art for future research in this multidisciplinary area.
