Outline of Final Research Achievements

The innovative research area "Synergy of Fluctuation and Structure: Quest for Universal Laws in Non-Equilibrium Systems" strived to expand two major areas of non-equilibrium science; studies of non-equilibrium fluctuations and self-organizing structures. The steering committee supported the collaboration between research groups in our area. We also organized two international symposiums (SFS2015 and SFS2017) and many research meetings.
