III School SIFS 2024

The third edition of the International School of the Italian Society of Statistical Physics - SIFS will be held at the Scuola Superiore of the University of Catania in Italy from the 26th of August to the 5th of September 2024.

The school will offer intensive two weeks of lectures, with follow up meetings. It will be structured into seven courses and tutoring activities. The courses will be held by Ginestra Bianconi (Higher-order networks), Irene Giardina (Interacting biological systems), István Kiss (Models of epidemic spreading), Giacomo Livan (Random Matrix Theory and Application), Mario Nicodemi (Phase transitions in the nucleus of cells), Stefano Ruffo (Systems with long-range interactions) and Samir Suweis (Ecological models).

The school represents a great opportunity for Phd students and young postdocs from any country to deepen topics in statistical physics in a friendly and international environment, offering moments of intense study and socialization.
