The Chair of Complexities \u221e Humanities partnered with the Moroccan Society of Interdisciplinary Studies<\/a> to host the 6th World Conference on Complex Systems (WCCS26) at UM6P in Benguerir, in April 2026.<\/p>\n

Held under the theme Navigating Contemporary Complexity<\/em>, the conference brought together leading researchers and Ph.D. students from across the world to present cutting-edge work, confront emerging challenges, and explore new frontiers in complex systems and interdisciplinary science. <\/p>\n

As a premier international platform, WCCS26 advanced collaboration and debate on the most sophisticated methods for understanding, modeling, simulating, predicting, and navigating societal, ecological, biological, and engineered complex systems. By convening experts across disciplines, it bridged theory and real-world application \u2014 driving scientific progress and innovation.<\/p>\n
