The workshop will focus on the statistical mechanics of interacting  systems far from thermal equilibrium. In recent years a variety of models have been introduced and studied  leading to new understanding of properties of such systems. These have revealed interesting types of  behaviors which do not exist under equilibrium conditions. In particular, progress has been made in understanding fluctuations, phase transitions and collective phenomena in these systems. Following these developments one can attempt to address fundamental questions of generality. Bringing together leading experts in this field we expect that new outlooks and future directions will emerge.
