These centres aim to train individuals who are equipped to deal with the problems of complex systems that modern science is uncovering.
These centres will train engineers and scientists with both the theoretical and experimental skills required in complexity science, whilst increasing awareness of complexity issues and the tools and techniques being developed by complexity scientists.
The training environments are highly multidisciplinary, since research in complexity science requires training in at least two distinct mainstream disciplines. The centres aim to bring together students from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from physics and chemistry to computer science, mathematics and engineering.
To study complexity requires knowledge of, amongst others, biology, social sciences, economics and engineering, depending on the nature of the system. For more details, please speak to the individual centres.
