Despite significant achievements in science and technology, humankind still needs to win global challenges. Whenever we face the XXI century global challenges, we deal with Complex Systems. Complex Systems are natural systems that science is unable to describe exhaustively. This course presents the features of Complex Systems by using the theories of Out-of-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, Non-linear Dynamics, and Natural Computing. The contents are interdisciplinary. Subjects regarding chemistry, biology, physics, economy, and philosophy are presented. This course intends to give the PhD students new ideas and methodologies to face their specific research.

Note: Lectures will be held on Friday at 3pm.
