This research network started in May 1997 and was funded till May 2003. In this network between 20 30 (depending on the 2-year periods of grant renewal) groups from probab- ity, statistical physics and mathematical statistics within Germany were - tive. An extensive international collaboration was an essential part of this network and here particularly intense contacts were built up between the DFG-Schwerpunkt and EURANDOM, a European institute for research in stochastics, which was founded in 1997. This partnership reached from joint workshops and colloquia to collaborations on speci? c projects. The key scienti? c idea which was behind the research network was to - plore and develop the connections between research in in? nite dimensional stochastic analysis, statistical physics (Gibbs measures, random media), s- tial population models from mathematical biology, complex models of ? n- cial markets or of stochastic models with interacting components in other sciences as for example in climatology.
