Challenge Arcidosso 2026
Aim of the Challenge: to favour the scientific collaboration among young scientists working in the filed of Complex Systems Physics. With the endorsement of: INFN: Lincoln and Biophys Group IV initiatives Department of Physics and Astronomy, Bologna University CISSC, Pisa University Department of Physics and Astronomy, Florence University
Scientific Committee: Franco Bagnoli, Armando Bazzani, Roberto Beneduci, Paolo Freguglia, Angelo Di Garbo, Stefano Galatolo, Roberto Marangoni, Enzo Orlandini, Sebastiano Pilati, Alessandro Pluchino. Organizing Committee: Emanuele Locatelli, Giulio Colombini Armando Bazzani, Paolo Freguglia. The challenge will be focused on the topics A) Dynamics on networks, stochastic thermodynamics and reaction-diffusion models of complex systems in cell biology B) Whole-brain and neuronal networks: neural mass models, plasticity, adaptation, brain waves C) Predictability, stability, function and cooperative effects in social, information, urban networks, and ecological systems
To participate in the conference there is no registration fee, but for organizing reasons please communicate your participation by next June 30 to pfreguglia@gmail.com, emanuele.locatelli@unipd.it, or giulio.colombini2@unibo.it, or register to the internet site that will be opened soon.

2026 – International Conference in Ecological Macroeconomics (Florence)
Ecological Macroeconomics is an emerging field at the intersection of macroeconomics, ecological economics and complexity science. It develops modelling frameworks that embed economies within biophysical limits, explicitly address inequality and social justice, and explore de- and post-growth futures through scenario analysis rather than optimisation. This inaugural international conference aims to bring together scholars, early-career researchers, students, and practitioners working on ecological macroeconomic theory and modelling, with a particular interest in applications to the Global South and policy design for a just transition. NOTE: The maximum capacity of the conference is 150 participants. In the case of equal scores in the review process, members of the International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE) will be given priority.

2026 – Summer School in “Ecological Macroeconomics & Global South” (Florence)
This summer school offers an intensive introduction to Ecological Macroeconomics, with a special focus on its relevance for the Global South. Participants will receive a solid grounding in the foundations of Ecological Economics and Post-Keynesian Macroeconomics, and will learn key modelling approaches used to analyse sustainability transitions in diverse socio-economic contexts. The programme covers Input–Output analysis, Stock-Flow Consistent modelling, and System Dynamics, providing participants with the conceptual and technical tools needed to explore the interactions between economic structures, environmental constraints, and social outcomes. A core component of the school is hands-on training on how to build Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that incorporate biophysical limits, distributional dynamics, inequality, and policy scenarios. Participants will work through practical modelling labs using Vensim and R, enabling them to implement dynamic models, run simulations, and analyse alternative development pathways. The school aims to equip a new generation of researchers—especially from and for the Global South—with state-of-the-art modelling skills to address climate, energy, and development challenges.
