This new series of international Complex Systems Summer School (CSSS2010) set in France is co-organized by the two French Institutes: Complex Systems Institute Paris Île-de-France (ISC-PIF) & Complex Systems Institute Rhône-Alpes (IXXI), in coordination with the overarching National Network of Complex Systems (RNSC) and with the support of the european coordination action ASSYST. Our Summer School is also one of the "Thematic School" supported by the CNRS. This year, the summer school will take place in Paris at the ISC-PIF: 57-59 rue Lhomond 75005, Paris France The aim of the school is to provide in-depth reference courses to a multi-disciplinary audience of researchers and students. The level of lectures will range from introductory to advanced, as attendees are not expected to be familiar with all the fields covered. Lecture topics will address specific objects from various disciplines pertaining to complex systems (physics, biology, sociology, etc.), or interdisciplinary tools and methods (mathematical, computational), or both.
