Kenji Itao from the University of Tokyo will give a live talk on Wednesday, October 5 at 15 pm in the Salon.   If you would like to attend, please email to office@csh.ac.at.   Title: "Explaining universality and diversity in social phenomena using evolutionary simulation"   Abstract: Societies all over the world are strikingly diverse. However, one can find the similarity in the societies far away from each other and thus, their diversity is patterned. As long as we consider…

Pedro Moreno-Sánchez from IMDEA Software Institute will give a life talk on Friday, October  7 at 3 pm in the Salon.     If you would like to attend, please email to office@csh.ac.at.   Title: "Privacy-preserving blockchain applications with adaptor signatures"   Abstract: Adaptor signatures are an extension of standard digital signatures that tie together the creation of a digital signature (e.g., authorising a blockchain transaction) and the leakage of a secret value (e.g., the pre-image of a hash value as…

This talk will be presented by CSH visitor Tommaso Rughi (Sant'Anna Institute of Advanced Studies) on Friday, October 14 at 3 pm.   Title: Climate change and labour-saving technologies: the twin transition in patent texts Abstract: This Talk intends to provide a direct understanding of the twin transition from the innovative activity domain. It will start with a technological mapping of the technological innovations characterised by both climate change mitigation and labour-saving attributes. To accomplish the task, I draw on…

The workshop is co-organized by CSH Faculty member Frank Neffke and will take place on October 16–19, 2022 at the Complexity Science Hub.   Abstract: The expansion of collective knowledge, i.e., of knowledge that is not just held by individuals but that can be aggregated across individuals, entities and spatial units, has been the driving force behind increased prosperity and is probably our best tool to fight the unintended consequences thereof. Scholars have debated the role of knowledge in the…

The workshop is co-organized by CSH External Faculty member Mirta Galesic (SFI) and will take place on October 19–21, 2022 at the Complexity Science Hub.   Abstract: Collectives emerge, change, grow and dissolve across temporal and spatial scales. These processes have been studied and modeled in different species, but many of the underlying mechanisms and regularities still remain elusive. This is problematic as understanding these collective processes is essential for maintenance, curation, and development of our own, human societies facing…

Veronica Mierzejewski from Arizona State University will give a live talk on Tuesday, October 25 at 3 pm in the Salon.   If you would like to attend, please email to office@csh.ac.at.   Titel: "Scaling patterns in enzyme diversity across the tree of life: how do novel biochemical functions arise?"   Abstract: While biology on Earth shares universal biochemical component parts, it is unclear what unites all life in the universe. Lacking this knowledge, we are unable to formulate a…

Phillip Koch from the Université de Toulouse will give a live talk on Friday, November 4 at 3 pm in seminar room 201.   If you would like to attend, please email to office@csh.ac.at.   Title: The historical role of migrants in the geography of knowledge   Abstract: Did migrants help make Paris a Mecca for the arts and Vienna a beacon of classical music? Or was their rise a pure consequence of local actors? Here, we use data on…
