Overview

Nobel Symposium 215

Beyond
Boltzmann

Complexity, Memory, and
Non-Additive Entropies

24–28 May 2027Lund & Bäckaskog, Sweden

How does
complexity emerge?

From turbulence and particle collisions to quantum systems, networks and learning, NS215 explores how memory, correlations and non-additive entropies connect foundational questions with physical evidence.

Research · Dialogue · Discovery

A week of ideas.
A wider conversation.

Scientific symposium

At the frontiers
of complexity

By invitation

Six sessions on non-additive entropies, memory and complexity. Extended discussions connect disciplines, test explanations and shape a shared scientific synthesis.
