The research is organized
in a unifying transverse line of exploration and fundamental nature
· Transversal line : Complex systems: Statistical and Nonlinear Physics
and 4 targeted research lines which focus on more specific fields:
· Line 1: Nonlinear Optics, Quantum Optics and Dynamics of Optoelectronic Devices
· Line 2: Fluid dynamics, Biofluids and Geophysical Fluids
· Line 3: Biophysics and Nonlinear Phenomena in Ecology and Physiology
· Line 4: Dynamics and collective phenomena in social systems
Statement: Building upon previously funded projects (PB94-1167 for 5 years, BFM2000-1108: CONOCE and FIS2004-00953: CONOCE2) we aim to develop interdisciplinary and strategic research from a common background of studies in Nonlinear Physics and Complex Systems, with methodologies taken from Statistical Physics, Dynamical Systems Theory and Computational Methods.
General scientific objectives : a) Exploring: contribute to the development of concepts and methods for the understanding of generic non-linear phenomena in complex systems. b) Transferring interdisciplinary transfer of this body of knowledge to the strategic targeted research sub-lines 1-4.

The qualitative improvement we propose here is to advance in a more risky research, avoiding endogenous incremental research and putting emphasis on interdisciplinary transfer.
