Complexity72h workshop – eighth edition

Complexity72h is an interdisciplinary workshop for young researchers interested in complex systems. It is an intensive experience in which participants go through the entire scientific process by developing a research project in just 72 hours. The goal is to produce a report of their work by the end of the workshop, which is then submitted as a preprint.

Read the workshop manifesto on Communications Physics.

Participants can join in two roles: as Tutors, who propose and lead research projects, or as Team Members, who work collaboratively to bring these projects to life.

Join as a Tutor

Are you an experienced postdoc or academic with a research idea you would like to explore?

Bring your project to Complexity72h and lead a team of 6–8 motivated researchers. Take responsibility for the scientific direction of the project, coordinate an interdisciplinary team, and experience the challenges and rewards of scientific leadership while exploring new research directions.

Join as a Team Member

Are you an early-career researcher curious to explore new scientific questions?

Join an interdisciplinary team and work together to turn a research idea into a scientific report, contributing to brainstorming, analyses, visualizations, and scientific writing. Step outside your usual research environment, explore unfamiliar topics, and build new collaborations with researchers from different backgrounds.
