Prigogine Institute

The Prigogine Institute is a research center dedicated to studying complex systems and how they evolve over time, especially far from equilibrium. Named after scientist Ilya Prigogine, it emphasizes understanding processes like self-organization, entropy, and irreversible change in physical, biological, and social systems. Its goal is to uncover principles that explain how order emerges from disorder, helping to better grasp phenomena across sciences—from climate patterns to biological development—by combining theoretical insights with practical applications.
