Scope
Continuing a very successful series of nine conferences in Europe and the Americas, we cordially invite you to join us for the jubilee conference Diffusion Fundamentals X, which will be held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from September 6 to September 8 2023, as our first visit to Asia in this series.
Random movement (commonly referred to as diffusion) occurs anywhere in our world, covering both microscopic and macroscopic time and length scales. It is observed with atoms and molecules as the elementary constituents of our matter just as with biological species in our environment and with, finally, us human beings and our material and immaterial “products”. As a common feature, it appears in the spreading behavior of the “objects” considered in various areas. Observation, classification, and comprehension of these phenomena are thus among the main objectives for scientists in the different disciplines, in humanities, social and natural sciences, and engineering. Bringing together scholars from economics, archaeology, ecology, epidemics, ethnology, linguistics, political science and sociology with biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians and engineers, Diffusion Fundamentals X strives to create an exciting exchange of ideas. It turns out that covering the particular challenges within each of these various disciplines uncover astonishingly similar patterns of spreading phenomena.
