Institute for Complex Adaptive MatterA Brief
Introduction
ICAM AN EMERGENT INSTITUTION
Greg Boebinger and David Pines, ICAM Co-directors
ICAM as a portal to world leaders in CORRELATED
MATTER broadly defined from biology to
chemistry to materials science
ICAM Today A
University of California Multi-campus Research
Program
-- 33 Branch Member Institutions in
this country and abroad
ICAMs Past Founded in March 1999 became
ICAM/UC MRP in 2002 ICAM Scientific Focus
Study complex adaptive matter
-- the search for the organizing principles
responsible for emergent
behavior in hard, soft and biological matter
Build bridges and an international materials
network
among the physical and biological
sciences
and the soft and hard matter
communities Launch the Emergent Matter
Project
-- outreach to students of
all ages and the general public. ICAM Breadth of

Emergent Matter Project Goals
Long term goal To convey to learners of all
ages an appreciation of what is arguably at the
top of the grand scientific challenges of the new
century--the search for an understanding of The
Emergent Universe Emergent Universe We live
in a universe in which interactions between the
basic building blocks of matter or individuals in
our societies give rise to unpredicted and
unexpected emergent behavior at every
scale. Show examples of emergent behavior in
inanimate, living, and neural matter social
and economic behavior. Describe emergence as a
paradigm shift from reductionism
8
Five-Year Plan for the Emergent Universe

• To communicate the principles and scope of
  emergence to the public
• Quantum Matter to Soft and Self-Assembling
  Matter
• Living Matter
• Social and Economic Behavior
• via the following seven outreach approaches
• 1. Highly accessible interactive web experiences
• 2. Science museum exhibits
• 3. University corridor exhibits and
  installations
• 4. Film and radio
• 5. Journal articles, pamphlets and books
• 6. CAMNet Materials for advanced middle school
  and high school student
• 7. investigations Moveable Feasts all-campus
  events at ICAM branches.

What Makes EMP Unique
An innovative partnership leading scientists and
education (ISE) professionals an innovative
partnership between leading scientists and
educational professionals collaborate at all
stages of the project communicate to the
general public frontier research on emergent
matter. Scientists eager to communicate
their extensive knowledge and research ISE
professionals have skills to communicate
complex phenomena to the public The EMP
collaborative includes filmmakers exhibit and
web designers science journalists ICAM
physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and
biological physicists ISE professionals from
Exploratorium (San Francisco) Science Museum
of Minnesota (St. Paul) Museum of Science and
Industry (Chicago)
