Presentations and conversations will explore practice applications and enhance knowledge of chaos theory, fractals, complex systems and related topics. Over the years, the annual conferences of the Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology & Life Sciences have inspired and supported people from many disciplines to become leaders in theoretical, empirical and practice applications.
