Since the 1970s, nonlinear science has grown remarkably, integrating nonlinear dynamics and statistical physics with complex systems, machine learning, and information theory to analyze and predict complex phenomena. Italy has played a key role in this field, notably through the 1986 ICTP School, which fostered collaborations with researchers from the Global South. The Perspectives in Nonlinear Dynamics (PNLD) conference series, launched in 2004 in India, has become a significant platform for global experts, held every three years alongside the StatPhys conference. With StatPhys-29 set for Florence in 2025, the nearby historic city of Lucca offers the venue for PNLD 2025, ensuring an inspiring environment for scientific exchange on cutting-edge topics like nonlinear systems, complex networks, machine learning, and quantum chaos. In line with the addition of the novel TOPIC 9 "Statistical physics of machine learning and information: Machine learning, neural networks, information processing, etc." to the topics of StatPhys-29, PNLD 2025 is particularly interested in contributions on this topic.
The event will take place at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca from July 21 to 25, 2025.
The PNLD series of conferences has been held every 3 years in different parts of the world over the last 20 years, always as a satellite to the StatPhys Conference.
The Perspectives in Nonlinear Dynamics (PNLD) 2025 will be a satellite conference to StatPhys-29, which will be held in Florence on July 13-18, 2025.
