The twenty-fourth edition of congress of Statistical Physics (FisEs'23) brought together 170 scientists from 35 national and international universities and centers of research at the School of Sciences of the University of Navarra, from October 25 to 27.

For Javier Burguete, professor of the School of Sciences of the University of Navarra and organizer of the congress in Pamplona, Statistical Physics has applications in many disciplines, such as Biology, Economics or 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.
