170 researchers participate in a Statistical Physics congress at the University of Chile.
Epidemiology, ecology, tumor treatment, pedestrian evacuation, phase transitions, colloids or liquid crystals are some of the topics that have been addressed during this congress

The 24th edition of congress Statisticalcongress (FisEs’23) brought together at the School of Science at the University of Navarra from October 25 to 27, bringing together 170 scientists from 35 research and international universities and research centers.
According to Javier Burguete, a professor at the School of Science the University of Navarra and organizer of congress Pamplona, statistical physics has applications in many disciplines, such as biology, Economics medicine.
"We seek to understand how complex systems behave, systems formed by a large issue of elements, in which properties or behaviors arise that are not possible to observe in isolated elements. It is noteworthy the increase in recent years of applications in the field of Health, from epidemiology and dynamics of diseases to the growth and treatment of tumors".
During three days, contributions have been presented on a wide variety of topics, with applications as diverse as ecology or pedestrian evacuation, as well as more classical topics of statistical physics such as phase transitions, colloids or liquid crystals.
The congress of Statistical Physics is held every year and a half and has as goal promote the Statistical and Nonlinear Physics in Spain and the exchange of knowledge scientific among the groups researching in these disciplines. Each year it is organized by a group of research under the auspices of group Specialized in Statistical and Nonlinear Physics (GEFENOL) of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics.
