The conference will cover the following topics:

A) Foundations, theoretical aspects and mathematical formalism of statistical physics

B) Connection with information theory and mathematical statistics

C) Applications (classical and quantum physical systems, dynamical systems, transport theory etc)

D) Application of statistical methods beyond physics (biophysics, econophysics, social systems, networks, traffic flow, etc)

Format of the conference:

The conference will be organized in sessions dealing with general aspects and fundamental problems of statistical physics.

A special session will be organized under the auspices of the EPS-SNP
(European Physical Society - Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division)

A further special session will be devoted to the 60-th birthday of Prof. Giorgio Parisi

Moreover 2 workshops (Socio-Econo-Physics, Networks) and 7 symposia (Fisher Information and Geometry, Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics, Nonlinear Kinetics, Quantum Computation and Statistical Mechanics, Statistical Physics Methods in Geosciences and Enviroment Sciences, Superstatistics, Transport in gases of Cold atoms) will cluster talks dedicated to special topics.

The conference will include also two poster sessions devoted to general and special topics of statistical physics.
