Knotting the MECO Network
Abstract
:1. Introduction
“During my lectures when I am describing a physical phenomenon, discovery or technological invention I always try to connect with the face(s) of the person(s) who made major contributions in that field and give a little bit of its history.” (Hattice Altug)

3.2. The Vienna School of Statistical Thought
3.3. Conferences in Budapest Shortly after the First MECO
4. The Development of MECO
- (1)
- Condensed Matter is the starting field of many physicists, that then move to Interdisciplinary, Classical, and General Physics.
- (2)
- And they found that although the majority of physicists change the topics of their research, they stay within the same broader area, thus exploring with caution new scientific endeavors.
4.1. MECO until the Yugoslavian War
- Each year changing the side of the Iron Curtain for the meeting place.
- All participants accommodated in one location (this sets a limit to about 100 participants), first realized in 1976, at MECO 3 and present (with exceptions) for the whole time of the meeting (three days).
- No parallel sessions as usually at large conferences.
- Free stay for at least participants from the eastern side, eventually support of travel expenses. For western participants a small amount covered the stay (e.g., for the stay in Liblice castle (MECO 13) 50 U.S. dollars had to be paid).
- Participants mainly from MECO centers but in principal open to all scientists.
- No proceedings (with rare exceptions MECO 19 and MECO 45). The idea was to report on ongoing research, which contained recently published material and intended publications.
- Invited review talks (chosen by the organizers in cooperation with the advisory board), contributed talks (selected out of applications for a talk otherwise shifted to the poster session), and posters (since 1977 MECO 4).
- Reports from different groups about research plans, topics of future seminars, etc.
4.2. Restarting MECO
- MECO 4 (1977): K. Binder Phase transitions in systems with disorder
- MECO 6 (1979): C. De Dominicis Systems with Quenched Random Impurities Including Spin Glasses
- MECO 16 (1989): I. Kondor Fluctuations and chaos in the Ising spin glasses
- MECO 25 (2000): I. Kondor Spin glass effects in finance
- MECO 43 (2018): J.-P. Bouchaud Statistical physics in economics and finance
4.3. The Development of MECO in Simple Numbers
