ECO²STAT: Decoding Complexity in Ecology and Economics: Statistical Physics & Data-Driven approaches

[Quantitative Life Sciences]

We are delighted to announce *ECO²STAT: Decoding Complexity in Ecology 
and Economics: Statistical Physics & Data-Driven Approaches*, an 
interdisciplinary workshop focusing on the interface of *ecology*, 
*economics*, and *statistical physics*. This workshop is a StatPhys29

  * Network dynamics in biological and financial systems
  * Phase transitions, critical phenomena, and scaling laws
  * Systemic resilience, robustness and stability
  * Stochastic processes and noise effects in population dynamics and
    market behavior
  * Agent-based models of interactions in ecological and economic systems
  * Data-driven models of ecosystems and markets
  * Natural Language Processing for Economics and Social Sciences
  * AI-Driven Predictive Models for Economic and Biological data

We look forward to receiving your contributions and welcoming you to 
Cagliari this July for a vibrant exchange of ideas.
