The Center for Nonlinear Science (CeNoS) is a central scientific institution of the University of Münster and consists of the working groups involved, which currently belong to five different departments. Any working group or scientist of the University of Münster who is interested in the subject may become a member. The CeNoS sees itself as a hub for basic research and teaching on issues relating to nonlinear systems and for the application of the results in various areas. In addition, the CeNoS serves as a forum for interdisciplinary dialogue between scientists from various scientific disciplines.
