Aiming to create a diverse group of motivated young researchers, we devised this quick form to gather your basic information and interests. The goal of the workshop is to strengthen the community of young researchers working in the field of complex systems. Thus we expect all the participants to suggest and actively participate in projects, build new scientific collaborations and exchange knowledge and experience with other participants.
The workshop fee is 100 euros and beside the participation to the workshop, it covers the accommodation and the food for the duration of the workshop (Monday to Friday), with the social dinner on Wednesday. The notification of acceptance will also include all the details necessary for the payment of the workshop fee. Further info will be provided to the accepted participants.
There will be a limited number of travel grants for those participants that have difficulties to get funds from their institutions. More details on the application for travel grants will be announced soon.
You need to apply through an online application which can be found in the "Further official information" link below this article.
Venue
Petnica Science Center is located in western Serbia, 7 km from Valjevo (around 90 km southwest from Belgrade).
Petnica Science Center is the biggest and, probably, the oldest independent nonprofit organisation for extracurricular, informal science education in South Eastern Europe. Since 1982. Petnica has organised more than 2,500 programs (seminars, workshops, research camps…) for nearly 50,000 students and science teachers in 15 disciplines of science, technology and humanities. The unique inspirational atmosphere the Petnica centre provides a perfect venue for participants of the WWCS.
Petnica Centre has functional and complex facilities in the village Petnica near Valjevo (West Serbia). There are fully equipped boarding facilities (100-bed Dormitory plus Restaurant), various types of classrooms, laboratories, a big and multifunctional library with a carefully designed Teaching Resource Centre, etc.
Accommodation for the WWCS participants will be offered in rooms with two, three and four beds (ensuite). Similarly, all the meals and the coffee breaks will be served in the restaurant.
