"LINC" learning about interacting networks in climate

The LlNC Project

Improving our understanding of the Earth´s complex climate phenomena, such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), has a huge economic and social impact for present and future generations, and can underpin advances in areas as diverse as energy, environment, agricultural and marine sciences. Given the complexity of the inter-relations between the subsystems that constitute our climate, it is important to approach the problem from an interdisciplinary perspective. However,there is a great shortage of qualified workforce to perform this task and a major challenge is the education and training of young qualified researchers that can approach climate phenomena from a complex systems point of view.

This requires knowledge from several fields such as physics, dynamical systems theory and computer science, and also requires a detailed understanding of Earth sciences such as meteorology and oceanography. There is also a clear need for improving the coordination and cooperation of the research teams working on these issues.

Marie-Curie Initial Training Network (ITN)

Programa Iberoamericano de Formación Técnica Especializada (PIFTE)

El Programa Iberoamericano de Formación Técnica Especializada (PIFTE) ha tenido como objetivo esencial desde su creación en 1987, contribuir al desarrollo, modernización y fortalecimiento de las instituciones públicas iberoamericanas, a través de la capacitación técnica de recursos humanos, teniendo en cuenta la transversalización del enfoque de género y de inclusión de pueblos indígenas.

La finalidad del Programa es fomentar la prestación de servicios públicos, mejorando la atención e integración de la ciudadanía en una administración pública más eficiente, accesible y democrática.

3rd Workshop on Complex Networks

CompleNet 2012 - Melbourne, Florida, USA
March 7-9, 2012
Hosted by Department of Computer Sciences - Florida Institute of Technology

This international workshop on complex networks (CompleNet) aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on areas related to complex networks. In the past two decades we have been witnessing an exponential increase on the number of publications in this field. From biological systems to computer science, from economic to social systems, complex networks are becoming pervasive in many fields of science. It is this interdisciplinary nature of complex networks that CompleNet aims at addressing.

Workshops are scheduled around the world on an yearly basis. The first edition of the workshop took place in May 2009 in Catania, Italy; the 2nd took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This year we will be in sunny Florida at the Campus of the Florida Technology Institute.

International Workshop "Advanced Computational and Experimental Techniques in Nonlinear Dynamics"

February 20 - 24, 2012
PUEBLA, MEXICO

The principal aim of the conference is to bring together physicists, computational scientists, and applied mathematicians interested in nonlinear dynamics, and especially those with expertise in computational methods or experimental techniques. One of the goals is to have expository talks aimed at an interdisciplinary audience. The format of the workshop consists of invited and contributed lectures and discussion periods.
