Dear Colleagues, We welcome you to the 15th Experimental Chaos and Complexity Conference (ECC). The ECC conference is a biennial event that, since its first edition in 1991 in Crystal City (USA) has been held uninterruptedly in European and American cities gathering together researchers bringing their latest experimental results on diverse fields of nonlinear dynamics and complex systems. We are now honored of hosting the 2018 edition of the ECC series in the Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC), the youngest university in the Madrid area. The initiative comes from two groups of researchers of the URJC, the Group of Applied Mathematics and the Complex Systems Group, active members of the nonlinear and network science communities, whose research projects are framed in the field of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) security and biomedical problems. We are deeply grateful for the excellent response that our call has received, with the result of a program featuring 18 invited, 41 contributed talks and more than 60 poster presentations. The panel of invited speakers is of the highest level, with the outstanding presence of Prof. Kenneth Showalter, C. Eugene Bennet Chair in Chemistry at the West Virginia University (USA), keynote speaker and guest of honor for his long career and scientific contributions in the field of pattern formation in chemistry, who will open the conference with the lecture Chimera and Chimera-Like States in Populations of Coupled Chemical Oscillators on Monday June 4. Afterwards, thirteen thematic sessions will provide the international scientific community on experimental nonlinear dynamics and complex systems with a unique discussion forum. In our endeavor, we have had the great support of the major Spanish research groups in nonlinear dynamics. Therefore we would like to thank the ECC15 Scientific Advisory Board for their contributions to the conference planning: Javier Burguete (Universidad de Navarra), Blas Echebarria (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya), Jordi García-Ojalvo (Universitat Pompeu Fabra), Emilio Hernández-García (IFISC CSIC & Universitat de les Illes Balears), Juan Manuel López (IFCA-CSIC & Universidad de Cantabria), Cristina Masoller (Universitat Politècnica), Diego Maza (Universidad de Navarra), Claudio Mirasso (IFISC CSIC & Universitat de les Illes Balears), Yamir Moreno (Universidad de Zaragoza), Miguel Angel Muñoz (Universidad de Granada), Alberto P. Muñuzuri (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela), Jordi Ortín (Universitat de Barcelona), Victor Pérez-García (Universidad de Castilla La Mancha), Anxo Sánchez (Universidad Carlos III) and Jordi Soriano (Universitat de Barcelona). We would like also to acknowledge the invaluable support of the Rey Juan Carlos University services and staff who made our work easier: Maria Antonia Rodriguez Tato and Bernardino Tato (Oficina de Proyectos Europeos); Esmeralda García, Miguel Angel Sevilleja, and Susana Clarós (Servicio de Gestión Económica); Laura de la Cruz (Servicio de Publicaciones); Raquel Valor (Servicio de Contabilidad y Presupuestos); Natalia Fernández (Gestión Economica Campus); Lorena Fernández Martínez (Secretaría del Rector); Pedro Valero and Alicia Cermeño (Servicio de Personal Docente e Investigador); Juan Manuel Dévora Lorenzo and Juan Carlos Hernández (Tecnologías de la Información); José Manuel De León Ceano-Vivas (Gerente Campus Madrid), and Vicerrectorado de Extensión Universitaria. On the external side, we also thank the Sponsorship of the Data Networks and Cybersecurity Sciences Institute of the URJC; the European Physical Society (EPS) and its Statistical and Nonlinear Physical Division; the Elsevier journal Chaos, Solitons and Fractals; the Springer journal European Physical Journal, Special Topics; the Hindawi Publishing Corporation; the World Scientific Publishing Company; and the Office of Naval Research Global and the help of Ayodeji Coke in preparing the proposal. We also thank Michael Shlesinger of the Office of Naval Research for his efforts to find funds in the US side and the ECC International Organizing Committee, Marc Lefranc, Stefano Boccaletti, Bruce Gluckman, Celso Grebogi, Jürgen Kurths, and Lou Pecora for having trusted us for the organization of the ECC15. Finally, we thank all the Attendees because all this organization is pointless without them. We look forward to provide the best interdisciplinary atmosphere to create new collaborations and synergies recognizing and exploiting common research interests.
