A Nordita Scientific program is an extended workshop where a limited number of scientists work together on specific topics for a period of up to 4 weeks. Program topics can range beyond the traditional borders of theoretical physics and scientists in related areas of the natural sciences are encouraged to submit proposals.
Up to 25 participants can be accommodated at any given time. This typically includes a core of 8-12 internationally recognized leaders in the subject area of the program, 5-8 invited Nordic scientists, and a limited number of other applicants including accompanying postdoctoral fellows and PhD students.
Scientific programs can include focus events (conferences, workshops or schools) with a higher number of participants for shorter periods.
Members of the international scientific community are invited to propose future programs with an annual deadline in November for submitting proposals (see the submission guidelines for details). The Nordita Board decides which scientific programs will be run in a given period following a review of all program proposals by an external expert committee.
See the list of all Nordita scientific programs. The programs are also listed on a separate AlbaNova Agenda page.

Program 6—31 May 2013
Stability and transition of flows belong to fundamental issues in the field of fluid mechanics. Predicting flow structures and characteristics requires deep understanding of the different routes of transition. Further, similarities between the fluid behavior (instabilities) and different phenomena within the field of astrophysics give an opportunity to explain some of astrophysical phenomena based on the stability characteristics of canonical shear flows.
Workshop 22—25 May 2013
The meeting addresses applications of statistical mechanics to biological cooperativity on all level from the molecular to strategical actions and the development of populations. The workshop is held in Mariehamn, Åland.
