The goal of the DCP-PhysBio exchange program is to bring together several European teams (France, Germany, UK), Israel, as well as partners from Russia and Ukraine. We want to use our combined expertise to study various challenging dynamical and cooperative phenomena taking place in complex physical and biological systems. All the teams have a track record of research in these areas concentrating on particular numerical or theoretical facets, such that the network will synergistically amplify their strengths. The staff exchanges will include both a team research work on specific work packages which will further consolidate the research partnership, and a transfer of knowledge component of workshops, schools and seminars which will ensure an effective dissemination of results and foster interactions amongst the young researchers. If the aims of our proposal are to be achieved, then not only that a long-term research network will emerge but a number of PhD students and early career researchers will have had been mentored into, and intensively exposed to, a culture of international collaborative research.
