Conference on complex systems and changes, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
15 September 2009 - 15 September 2009
Spain
The European Science Foundation (ESF) and European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) will hold a joint conference on 'Complex systems and changes: Darwin and evolution - nature-culture interfaces' from 15 to 20 September in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain.
The year 2009 marks the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his work 'On the origin of species'. Inspired by these events, the conference will cover four of Darwin's basic principles:
- variation and diversity (variation among individuals form the driver of evolution);
- abundance (more offspring are produced than grow to adulthood);
- selection (the one that is best adapted to his environment has more chance to survive);
- reproduction and transfer (organisms reproduce and pass on their beneficial traits).For further information, please visit:
