We cordially invite you to participate in the 4th CRITICS Workshop and Winter School on “Critical Transitions in Complex Systems: Mathematical theory and applications” to be held in Wöltingerode, Germany, March 5-16, 2018.

This event is part of the activities of the ITN network CRITICS “Critical Transitions in Complex Systems” ( http://www.criticsitn.eu) bringing together scientists in mathematics and applications on progressing the understanding of critical transitions in complex systems ranging from ecology and climate to economic theory.
