Social systems typically feature crises, i.e. unstable and dangerous situations that are characterized by abrupt and large-scale changes. Such disruptions are very hard to predict with any precision and even harder to control. Indeed, crises often convey an impression that key decision makers have lost control and that events unfold in an unstoppable and even catastrophic way. Examples include environmental crises, the collapse of transportation systems, as well as financial and social crises such as poverty, social conflicts or wars.
These and other issues will be addressed during the meeting, which combines elements of an interdisciplinary workshop with a think tank and a summer school for young scientists. Scientists and students interested in participating in this workshop are asked to send an e-mail to Lubos Buzna (lbuzna@ethz.ch) or Amin Mazloumian (amin@gess.ethz.ch) to be included in the e-mail distribution list of this workshop.
I look forward to meeting you!
Dirk Helbing, on behalf of the organizing committee.
