CSH Planning Workshop on the Historical Dynamics of Social Norms and Sentiments Underlying Cooperation
This workshop is organized by Peter Turchin, CSH External Faculty. Room: Salon Abstract What processes explain social breakdown, recovery, and resilience is a “Big Question” in social and political sciences. The overwhelming majority of approaches testing various hypotheses about social resilience focus on “hard” data, such as climate change, food and water supply, demographic rates, trade and financial systems, and economic inequality. These data are “hard” in the sense that we know how to measure various quantities of interest. But…

The lecture by Martin Polz, MIT will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at. Abstract Microbes are the dominant form of life on the planet but we know very little about what biological principles structure microbial life. For animal and plant communities, important biological units are species and communities, yet for microbes these are difficult to define due to inherent instability. I will present some recent results…

The lecture by Helena Miton, CEU, SFI will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at Abstract A cultural evolution framework can be used to understand the spread of medical beliefs and practices and open new avenues of research on those topics. Integrating knowledge from cognitive science to cultural evolutionary models can be used to understand the spread and evolution of health-related practices. I illustrate this point through two…

The lecture by Vera Hemmelmayr from WU Vienna will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at Abstract This talk presents an application in collaborative recycling efforts for non-profit agencies. The work is motivated by a project with a network of hunger relief agencies (e.g., food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters) focusing on collaborative approaches to address their cardboard recycling challenges collectively. The problem is modeled as a…

The lecture by Yvonne-Anne Pignolet from DFINITY will take place at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. If you are interested in participating, please email to office@csh.ac.at. Abstract: Recent evidence shows that in many societies the relative sizes of the economic and social elites are continuously shrinking. Is this a natural social phenomenon? We address this question by introducing an axiom-based model for the mutual influence between the elite and the periphery. Among other results derived from this model, we show that…

This workshop is organized by Bosiljka Tadic, The Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana & CSH External Faculty, and Àlvaro Corral, Centre de Recerca Matematica Barcelona & CSH External Faculty. Room: Salon Abstract The emergence of new features in the evolving complex systems highly correlates with their cooperative response to the driving forces, which also leaves characteristic patterns in the time-varying data. The collective dynamics of this kind can arise from a non-trivial connections that go beyond standard pairwise interactions in…
