t-co.re. Transdisciplinarity and Complexity Research

Transdisciplinarity and Complexity Research is an « Excellence Chair » funded by the AMIDEX Foundation of Aix-Marseille University. From the human brain to the global climate we find complex systems everywhere: living cells and microorganisms, economy and global supply chains, communication or transportation systems, cities, migrations, ecosystems and so on. Indeed, complexity as a research object and at the same time as a research perspective plays a prominent role in various sciences today, in addition to physics, for example, also in information theory, IA, climate science, sociology and economics. The chair explores the philosophical foundations and manifold applications of complexity science and the ways by which complexity science can inform our society in order to address the huge challenges facing our civilisation.
