Bridging Boundaries: Season's Greetings and Best Wishes for 2025!
2024-12-20 08:00 - 17:00 UTC
Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Partners,
As another year comes to a close, we are reminded that the most profound solutions emerge at the intersections—of ideas, disciplines, and perspectives. Much like the intricate systems we explore, this season is a time when connections bring warmth, collaboration creates meaning, and harmony transcends complexity.
In the spirit of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your invaluable contributions and trust. Together, we have built bridges across boundaries, tackled challenges, and nurtured innovation in complex systems.
May this festive season bring you balance, joy, and inspiration. As we step into 2025, let us continue to embrace challenges with creativity and look toward a future shaped by unity, understanding, and shared purpose.
With warm regards and appreciation,
The Board and the entire team at I.U.I.T.C.S. extend their warmest wishes for the holiday season and a successful New Year!

A Successful Hybrid Conference on Interdisciplinarity and Transdisciplinarity in Complex Systems: Key Takeaways and Heartfelt Thanks
2024-11-10 08:00 UTC
On November 5, 2024, at the Romanian National Museum of Literature (MNLR) in Bucharest, the International Union for Interdisciplinarity and Transdisciplinarity in Complex Systems (I.U.I.T.C.S.), headquartered in Belgium organised a Conference-Seminar.
The event’s theme was ‘Scientific Interdisciplinarity and Transdisciplinarity in Complex Systems – 21st Century Approaches’, where various topics within this topic were explored in depth.
It was a hybrid event that brought together attendees and staff both in person and virtually from Romania, the Republic of Moldova, Belgium, Spain and Germany, thus fostering a truly European collaborative workspace and exchange of ideas.
We were grateful and honoured to have them together and begin building a true partnership between prestigious academic institutions and the industry. On the academic side the participation was overwhelming, welcoming the presence of distinguished guests from the Romanian Committee for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technics (CRIFST), the Division of Logics, Methodology and Philosophy of Science (DLMFS), The Romanian Group for Interdisciplinary Research (GCI), The Institute of Philosophy and Psychology ” Constantin Rădulescu-Motru” and the Institute of Political Sciences and International Relations “Ion I. C. Brătianu” of the Romanian Academy. Other benchmark institutions of high education honoured with their presence such as the Doctoral School of Economics I of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. The industry was represented by participants from the Engineering and Product Design branch, Berlin, Germany and from IBM Romania & Moldova.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our honourable lecturers, already mentioned in our previous announcements and postings, and to everyone who joined and contributed to the vibrant discussions across such diverse scientific fields
The focus of the conference was on the complexity of dynamic systems and the emergence that occasionally occurs within that framework. Through the papers presented and extensively discussed, concerns were addressed from the following fields: philosophy of science, psychology, complex systems, epistemology, biomathematics, mathematical modelling, European law, philosophy of politics, post-humanism, science management, contemporary philosophy, epistemology, economic cybernetics, economic management, and complex economic systems. A lively debate took place around the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to Artificial Intelligence in various cultural sectors and business, emphasizing both the new opportunities and the challenges.

We are pleased to share that part of the recording has already been published on the Union’s web page. A warm thank you goes out to the talented musicians whose performances enriched our event: Mr. Albert Cristea, violinist from the ‘Dinu Lipatti’ National College, accompanied on piano by Ms. Eliza Puchianu, who replaced Prof. Cătălin Răducanu due to an urgent commitment at the conservatory. Of course, we must also thank Mr. Crișan Carpen, violinist and member of the National Radio Orchestra, whose help was crucial in organizing this wonderful micro-recital.
Special appreciation goes to Mr. Dragos Constantin and his dedicated team; their hard work made it possible for us to reach a global audience. Behind the scenes, we had a remarkable team, including our secretariat, technical staff in Belgium, Mr. Catalin Bocanu from Iasi, and Montserrat Comensaña from Barcelona, Spain, who managed our communication and promotion on the web and social media.
Our sincere gratitude also goes to the European Commission Library and e-Resources in Brussels for their courtesy and support, as well as to all our promoters, sponsors, and families.
Lastly, but by no means least, a heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Gabriela Toma and her team, and to the dedicated photographer Mr. Dan Marinescu, from the National Museum of Romanian Literature (MNLR), who were impeccable hosts.
In closing, it was our combined efforts that ensured a memorable experience for everyone and made this event a success. We eagerly await your participation in our next event!
