An article on complex systems research was featured in Politika’s “Culture, Art, Science” column on Saturday, October 19, 2024.

‘In everyday language, the words complexity and complication have similar meanings, but this is not the case in science. Complex systems are composed of numerous parts that interact in various ways, leading to unpredictable behaviors and new properties’ says Dr. Antun Balaž, head of the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the Institute of Physics in Belgrade, in the aforementioned article.

The piece was published to mark the series of lectures ‘Complex systems’ organized by the Ilija M. Kolarac Endowment. and the Institute of Physics Belgrade in the period from 14 October to 25 November 2024. The series ran every Monday from 6 p.m. in the Small Hall of the Kolarac Foundation.
