Fourth*F*rench*R*egional*C*onference**on*C*omplex*S*ystems** May 29 – 31, 2024 Montpellier, France *FRCCS 2024* <https://iutdijon.u-bourgogne.fr/ccs-france/>** After successfully hosting the conference in Dijon in 2021, Paris in 2022, and Le Havre in 2023, the fourth edition of the French Regional Conference on Complex Systems (FRCCS 2024) will be held in Montpellier, France. This single track international conference organized by CSS France <https://www.cssfrance.org/>serves as a platform to foster interdisciplinary exchanges among researchers from various scientific disciplines and diverse backgrounds, including sociology, economics, history, management, archaeology, geography, linguistics, statistics, mathematics, and computer science. FRCCS 2024 provides a valuable opportunity for participants to meet in France, exchange and promote ideas, facilitating the cross-fertilization of recent research work, industrial advancements, and original applications. Moreover, the conference emphasizes research topics with a high societal impact, showcasing the significance of complexity science in addressing complex societal challenges. Join us in Montpellier as we collectively strive to better understand complexity and its implications for society.
