More information.

The Complexity Society provides a focal point for people in the UK interested in complexity. It is a community that uses complexity science to rethink and reinterpret all aspects of the world in which we live and work.

Its core values are OPENNESS, EQUALITY and DIVERSITY.

  • Open to all, open to ideas, open in process and activities
     
  • Equality, egalitarian, non-hierarchical, participative
     
  • Diverse, connecting and embracing a wide range of views, respecting differences

The society objectives are to promote the theory of complexity in education, government, the health service and business as well as the beneficial application of complexity in a wide variety of social, economic, scientific and technological contexts such as sources of competitive advantage, business clusters and knowledge management.

Complexity includes ideas such as complex adaptive systems, self-organisation, co-evolution, agent based computer models, chaos, networks, emergence and fractals.

Membership is open to all and current members include people from universities, business, and government funded organisations.
