The Emergent Complexity and Organisation in Economics Group is a research group and workshop series primarily within the department of economics but with participation from other departments that serves as a medium for discussion and dissemination of research on the broad themes of open system dynamical processes, self-organization, emergence, and complexity as they relate to economic subject matter.

The group is itself something of an emergent phenomenon arising from a critical mass of research interests within the department that centre upon a core interest in the evolutionary dynamics of complex economic systems. However individual approaches to this are highly eclectic, ranging from evolutionary game theory and evolutionary microeconomics to Institutional, Behavioural and Post-Keynesian perspectives.

There is an overarching Schumpeterian and Self-Organisational emphasis, and a strong commitment to interdisciplinary development. The members of the group are involved in a range of activities from research into the philosophy and methodology of evolutionary and complex adaptive economic systems to theoretical and applied modelling of economic systems using computational and econometric methods.
