Nonequilibrium thermodynamics (NET) aims at understanding and describing the dynamics of out-of-equilibrium systems, and their relaxation towards equilibrium. NET remains a vibrant field of research with substantial challenges that still await to be solved.
Since the first workshop in 1996, the International Workshop on Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics (IWNET) is devoted to in-depth discussions of all aspects of NET, with to the goal of bringing nonequilibrium thermodynamics to the same level of clarity and usefulness as equilibrium thermodynamics ≫www.nonequilibrium-thermodynamics.org.
Early IWNET workshops were successfully concentrating on unifying the variety of approaches to NET in a common generalized framework. Later, emphasis shifted somewhat to areas of application that require NET as a powerful tool, e.g., understanding and describing the possibly nonlinear, far-from-equilibrium dynamics of complex systems. The reports from the previous workshops are collected here: IWNET-reports.
This 9th workshop will again highlight the most recent advances in the field, with some focus—through invited speakers—on
(a) Numerical methods for solving exemplary and substantial problems in NET and statistical mechanics, and
(b) NET, data science, and machine learning.
By the end of the workshop we hope that participants will have had the chance to further their views on the possibilities and present limitations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and leave with new challenges, new ideas, new collaborations, and old and new friends.

We are happy to invite you to participate in the latest workshop in this series:
| 9th IWNET | 2022 in Victoria, BC | Henning Struchtrup |
This 9th workshop is organized as follows: After arrival in the afternoon/evening of Sunday (July 10), the scientific program starts on Monday morning (July 11) and ends on Friday (July 15). It will consist of a handful of invited lectures, participants' oral and poster presentations, as well as discussion.
Coffee breaks, lunches and dinner events at the workshop site—the University of Victoria—will provide ample opportunity for more informal discussions. The program is rounded off by an afternoon-excursion.
