For 21 years, the Society and its conferences have been founded in the principles of interdisciplinary work, acknowledging the ubiquity of nonlinear dynamics across the behavioral, social, and life sciences. The conference is typically intimate in size with around 60-70 attendees representing psychology, biology, economics, business, physics, mathematics, and other scholars organized around a common interest in nonlinear dynamics. Attendance is typically broad geographically as well, with membership in SCTPLS representing each of the global continents. The program includes prominent keynote speakers, cutting-edge pre-conference workshops, symposia, individual sessions, and posters presentations.</span></div><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; "></span> </p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; "> This year will bring the 5<sup>th</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>INSC to beautiful<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; ">Barcelona</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; ">,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; ">Spain</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; ">.
