General Integration of the Applications of Complexity in Science

Objective

The objective of GIACS is to coordinate activities that express, explain, predict and control the complex collective objects arising at a certain space-time scale as emerging from the simpler interactions of their components at a finer scale. This is a sor t of extension of the "atomic-molecular" stochastic thinking and computational methods to social, biological, cognitive and technological systems. The integration it implies is not a juxtaposition of various expertises but rather an intimate fusion of know ledge. This involves a coordinated shift in the very objectives, scope and ethos of the affected disciplines. Complexity is not offering just a way of answering questions from one science using concepts from another: it is introducing a new language which allows the formulation of novel questions or rather a new grammar which allows novel interrogative forms. Main Actions: 1) European Complexity Society and Conference including all Complexity application areas 2) Instruments for the collective steering of the CA. These instruments will support also the self-discovery, self-organization of the community that practices and applies complexity to various fields. 3) Instruments to discover, connect and transfer information / data to communities of potential user s and consumers of complexity methods, ideas and results 4) Instruments to find, catalogue, rank and present in a coherent way to researchers and students of complexity relevant data and knowledge produced originally within other disciplines 5) Instruments to initiate and carry out interdisciplinary research transferring and applying complexity. In the past, as technology was acting on hardware, applied science was mainly experimental science applied to real life situations. Today,when technology is acting on abstract items, applied science consists often of formal (theoretical) operations applied to real life knowledge items and structures. One may speak therefore of "Theoretical Applied Science"

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

FP6-2003-NEST-PATH

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
