The Fields Institute and the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) are pleased to announce their workshop "Complexity and Economics", and would like to invite all interested young researchers from the fields of economics and related fields to apply.

The workshop is targeted mainly, but not exclusively, at graduate and PhD students with an interest in complexity theory and its application to economic problems. It will take place at The Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada, April 26-28, 2016.

The program of the workshop consists of two main parts. The first part, held by David C. Colander (Middlebury College, USA), introduces participants into complexity as a concept, and provides them with a base understanding of how it differs from more traditional economic modelling and thinking. The second part, held by Igor Nikolic (TU Delft, Netherlands), consists of applied coursework with a focus on agent-based modelling.

Unfortunately The Fields Institute and INET cannot offer funding opportunities for travel and lodging.
