Scientific research over the last century has been characterised by progressive specialisation and knowledge compartmentalisation, making it difficult for individuals to master more than one scientific field. Despite the success of this narrower approach, new challenges in science require a wider overview and synergies between research groups in different disciplines, enabling us to go beyond the traditional frontiers of knowledge. More specifically, complex systems are characterised by collective behaviour generated by the interaction of a large amount of elements whose nature cannot be inferred from units comprising the system.
These emerging phenomena can be seen in many examples from highly diverse fields: forming social consensus; stock market collapses; chaotic dynamics in lasers; fluid turbulence; vegetation patterns on sheet wash surfaces; human mobility; linguistic innovations, and even processes of memory and awareness in the brain. In turn, ideas of complex systems have been used in predictive climate modelling and disordered systems in physics, as demonstrated by the 2021 Nobel Prize for Physics. In this context, the postgraduate training on this master’s programme, underpinned by the teaching and research experience of researchers from the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems IFISC (UIB-CSIC), provides students with the necessary tools to look into complex systems from an interdisciplinary perspective with a solid mathematical foundation and data analysis based on current techniques such as machine learning.
This master enables to take a double degree with the University of Palermo.
