7th Northeast Regional Conference on Complex Systems (NERCCS-7); Potsdam New York; 20-22 March 2024

该基金通过资助研究生、博士后研究员和初级教员参加2024年3月20-22日在纽约波茨坦举行的第七届东北地区复杂系统会议(NERCCS-7)，支持下一代复杂系统研究人员的发展。NERCCS的目标是来自新英格兰、纽约州和选定的大西洋中部地区大学的研究人员。参与者还包括来自美国、加拿大、墨西哥和欧洲的学术界和工业界的教职员工、研究人员和科学家。该活动通过主旨演讲、研讨会、小组会议以及就与复杂系统和复杂网络有关的一系列科学主题进行非正式讨论的机会，在团结这些研究人员方面发挥了关键作用。重要的是，这次会议致力于通过研讨会和研讨会来促进学生参与者的教育、专业发展和职业生涯，以增强他们的网络和求职/职业发展能力。这次会议促进了在这些快速发展和趋势领域的不断进步。这笔赠款的重点是在第七届东北地区复杂系统会议上扩大参与和增加包容性。会议主题涵盖复杂系统、动力系统和网络科学领域的现代快照。课程包括：复杂系统的理论基础；非线性动力学和混沌；系统论；信息论；系统科学；博弈论；决策论；社会经济应用，如自组织、模式形成和集体行为；复杂网络的结构和动力学；复杂系统的可持续性和适应性；生物启发系统；机器学习和进化计算；复杂系统的数据驱动方法；在人文、艺术和文学、复杂系统的历史和哲学方面的应用；以及复杂系统和教育。东道主克拉克森大学是一所R2大学，强调本科生和研究生的STEM教育。会议的结果将在一个专门的网站和《东北复杂系统杂志》的特刊上公布。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant supports development of the next generation of complex systems researchers by providing funding for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty to travel to the 7th Northeast Regional Conference on Complex Systems (NERCCS-7) in Potsdam, New York, 20-22 March 2024. NERCCS targets researchers from universities in New England, New York State, and selected Mid-Atlantic regions. Participants also include faculty, researchers, and scientists in both academia and industry from across the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. This event serves a critical role in uniting these researchers through keynotes, workshops, panel sessions, and opportunities for informal discussions on a range of scientific topics pertaining to complex systems and complex networks. Importantly, this conference strives to advance education, professional development, and careers for student participants through workshops and seminars to enhance their networking and job search /career advancement capabilities. The meeting fosters continuous advancements in these fast-marching and trending fields.This grant focuses on broadening participation and greater inclusivity at the 7th Northeast Regional Conference on Complex Systems. Conference themes encompass a modern snapshot across the fields of complex systems, dynamical systems, and network science. Topics include: theoretical foundations of complex systems; nonlinear dynamics and chaos; systems theory; information theory; systems science; game theory; decision theory; socio-economical applications such as self-organization, pattern formation, and collective behavior; structure and dynamics of complex networks; sustainability and adaptability of complex systems; bio-inspired systems; machine learning and evolutionary computation; data-driven approaches to complex systems; applications to the humanities, art, and literature, historical and philosophical aspects of complex systems; and complex systems and education. The host, Clarkson University, is an R2 University emphasizing STEM education at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The outcomes of the conference will be disseminated on a dedicated website as well as in a Special Issue of the Northeast Journal of Complex Systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
