Scope: Nature is full of complexity. Due to the advancement of science and technology, we have discovered complex nature not only at the microscopic molecular level, but also at the macroscopic cosmic level. In between the above two extreme levels, we have rediscovered similar complex nature at any space and time scales. Fractal nature is now used to describe such self-nested hierarchy: particular characteristic patterns of structures and dynamics appear successively at descending or ascending scales so that their parts, at any scale, are similar in shape and dynamics to the whole. This means that there must be simple principles behind complexity, and that we can not only understand complex systems at certain levels, but also can apply to the other systems at quite different levels to predict the future or to avoid the emerging problems. It is our hope to develop new perspectives and new actions toward our future through stimulating discussions beyond different disciplines through the present “Transdisciplinary Symposium”.
