Beauty in Complexity

Welcome to Bordeaux for FRCCS 2025

We are excited to announce the call for participation for the « Beauty in Complexity » exhibition during the French Conference on Complex Systems (FRCCS) 2024. This exhibition aims at sharing to a wide and diverse audience the beauty of your research. Find the most fascinating visual that you are producing in your research. Any visual is acceptable, it could be a photograph, a diagram, a visualization, a montage, anything that can spark curiosity and wonder to the viewers.

The format is a single image that will be accompanied by an abstract. The abstract should explain (roughly):
–  how the visual was obtained,
–  what it represents / how it can be read,
–  explicit how complexity impacts the research, the process, or the phenomenon observed and how it translates to the visual, and eventually to your own findings
–  eventually, anything remarkable in it.

Thanks to our sponsor the Paul-Valery University, the selected visuals will be printed for you on a large poster (make sure your visual is of high-enough resolution), in addition to its abstract on a side, and exhibited in the main hall during the whole conference.
If you attend the conference, of course you will be free to take your poster with you.

To ensure you don’t miss out on the FRCCS24 Beauty in Complexity exhibition, here are the key deadlines:
Submission Deadline: April 14
Final Decisions Released: April 17
Camera-Ready Deadline: April 30
Conference: May 29-31, Montpellier, France

We strive to make the exhibition submission process as hassle-free as possible. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to broadcast your work in an entertaining manner.
