Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to participate in the XI course of the International School
on Complexity to be held at the

ETTORE MAJORANA FOUNDATION AND CENTRE FOR SCIENTIFIC CULTURE, ERICE
(Sicily) - Italy

The aim of the Course is to bring together world leaders in the manifold
subjects and fields related to Granular Materials, Complexity, Friction
and Faults. The goal is to provide researchers with a rare opportunity to
build unifying perspectives and tools for addressing emerging problems in
these areas. The program and the venue of the School will promote free
exchange of ideas and stimulate new insights into physical phenomena from
atomic to plate tectonic scales.

We hope to see you there!

    Alberto Petri and Chris Marone
