Research Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence

The Research Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence focuses on understanding how complex systems—such as societies, ecosystems, or brain networks—develop organized patterns and synchronized behaviors. "Coherence" refers to the harmonious organization within these systems, while "emergence" describes new properties or behaviors that arise unpredictably from interactions of simpler parts. The institute studies these phenomena to better grasp how order and complexity emerge naturally, which can lead to advances in science, technology, and understanding of natural and social processes.
