The Center was established in 1994 by the Senate of the University of Potsdam. It is directly responsible to the Senate of the University of Potsdam. The goal of the Center for Dynamics of Complex Systems is to further interdisciplinary research and teaching in the field of Nonlinear Dynamics and Complex Systems.

We study in interdisciplinary collaboration the behavior of complex systems using methods of nonlinear dynamics and statistical physics. Beyond the development of new methods, we focus on applications of the theoretical results in a variety of different areas of physics and life. The Center puts its emphasis on organisation of scientific cooperation in interdisciplinary research. Its activity also includes distribution of funds and creation of new projects.

The Interdisciplinary Center for Dynamics of Complex Systems uses the resources of these departments to achieve synergy effects by virtue of interdisciplinary research projects, workshops and seminars.

Currently the Center for Dynamics of Complex Systems has almost 50 members from different university departments (biology, chemistry, general linguistics, geosciences, informatics, mathematics, physics, psychology) and research institutes (GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung, Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung, Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam, Deutsches Institut für Ernährungsforschung).
