SFI Press launched Foundational Papers in Complexity Science this May. The four-volume collection, edited by SFI President David Krakauer, contains 88 typeset articles, each with introductions and commentaries from leading scientists.

Volumes 1 and 2, featuring papers spanning the years 1922 to 1973, are out now. The third and fourth volumes include work from the final decades of the 20th century and will be published later this summer.

The Santa Fe Institute is sponsoring a book set for each of the upcoming Emerging Award Winners, to be announced during the next Conference on Complex Systems in Exeter, UK in September.

The Complex Systems Society (CSS) organizes every year a main conference (CCS) – the most important annual meeting for the complex systems research community.

The Complex Systems Society invites bids to host the edition for 2025.

The conference is generally held in September/October of each year.

Interested potential organizers should send a short document (6 pages max.) detailing the proposal to the Society account css@cssociety.org (please add jfmendes@ua.pt and jramasco@ifisc.uib-csic.es in cc).

The last edition was in Salvador, Brasil (CCS2023). The next one will be in Exeter/London, UK (CCS2024).

The CCS series in recent years alternates between Europe, Asia and the Americas. In the edition 2025, preference will be given to bids from outside Europe in this edition even though bids from other locations will be also considered.

The deadline for proposals submission is April 30, 2024.
