Ed Ott is an American specialist of chaos and dynamical systems. He began the talks with his presentation “Emergent macroscopic behavior in large systems of many coupled oscillators” in front of a very attentive audience.

This Festival, gathering about 80 physicists from all over the world, with a great majority of young researchers will last 4 weeks and will address this year, the theme of “phase dynamics”. The various presentations will focus on the dynamics of the relative phase of two fields interacting non-linearly. Phase dynamics are an important element for the control of turbulent transport and more generally fusion plasmas confinement performance.
