The emergence of clear signals and trends from seemingly chaotic
nonlinear system states occurs in a wide range of fields, such as fluid
dynamics, solid state physics, neuroscience, the social sciences and within the
financial markets. The workshop will include talks from the committee members
of the IOP special interest group Nonlinear and Complex Physics on a range of
profound examples of emergence, highlighting the need to consider and account
for these complex nonlinear systems. This will motivate group discussions where
we will explore whether universal characteristics of emergence can be
identified. Come along for a great chance to learn more about this fascinating
topic and to network with the UK Physics community and friends. Refreshments
including lunch are provided!
