Emergence At All Scales: 1st Annual Meeting
7th - 8th of April 2026 | Amsterdam
​The NWA ORC Consortium Emergence at all Scales invites everyone to attend its first annual meeting where topics within its focus will be discussed, including hydrodynamics, complexity, collective phenomena, synchronization, phases of matter, social physics, etc.

Scaling and Criticality in Complex Systems
20th of March 2026 | Amsterdam
From cities and ecosystems to brains and markets, complex systems often exhibit universal patterns such as scaling laws and critical transitions. This workshop brings together leading researchers to explore how concepts like criticality and self-organization reveal unifying principles underlying collective behavior across natural and social systems.
Organisers: Jácome (Jay) Armas, Tuan Minh Pham, Wout Merbis
