MECO 49 participants
Welcome to MECO 49 in Slovenia!
It is a great honour for us to host the 49th conference of the Middle European Cooperation in Statistical Physics (MECO49) in Slovenia. The conference will take place between 21st and 25th April 2024 in the small tourist town of Kranjska Gora, on the south-eastern edge of the Alps. All participants will be accommodated in the Kompas Hotel, where the conference room is also located.
The conference will last three working days, 22-24 April, while 21st April (Sunday) is the arrival day and 25th April is the departure day. There will be ten (10) invited keynote 40-minute talks by leading researchers in the field and about 25 contributed talks of 20 minutes. The poster session will be organized as well.
The invited keynote speakers include Leticia Cugliandolo, Christoph Dellago, Massimiliano Esposito, Robert Holyst, Gerhard Kahl, Giorgio Parisi, Balazs Pozsgay, Masahito Ueda, Chantal Valeriani, and Marko Žnidarič.

About MECO
The Middle European Cooperation in Statistical Physics (MECO) is an international conference on statistical physics which takes place every year in a different country of Europe. MECO conferences started in 1974 with the aim of bridging the gap between the communities of scientists from the Eastern and Western parts of Europe, separated as they were by the Iron Curtain. Since then, MECO conferences have become the yearly nomadic reference meetings for the community of scientists who are active in the field of Statistical Physics in the broader sense, including modern interdisciplinary applications to biology, finance, information theory, and quantum computation.
General scientific topics of MECO
Disordered and frustrated systems
Strongly correlated systems
Quantum many-body systems
Quantum computation and information
Topological phases of matter
Soft and active matter
Networks and complex systems
Non-equilibrium phenomena
Interdisciplinary applications (e.g. finance, biological physics)
