Visions for Complexity – Opening Conference of the Complexity Science Hub Vienna

Visions for Complexity – Opening Conference of the Complexity Science Hub Vienna

On May 23, 2016, the new location of the Complexity Science Hub Vienna was inaugurated with the conference “Visions for Complexity”. A Who-is-Who of thirty-five internationally acclaimed scientists shared their vision for complexity science in the next decade, how complexity science and big data science could help society to tackle some of the grand challenges, and how the new hub in Vienna might be a beneficial facilitator on this path. These visions will be published by the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. The publication will constitute a roadmap where Complexity Science stands and where it will go in the next decade.
