Join us in beautiful Sicily this May to discuss about Cognitive Tools in Action & Embodiment.

Welcome to the 21st Conference on Complex Systems, CCS 2025! The CCS is the flagship annual meeting for the complex systems research community, operating within the framework of the Complex Systems Society. This special 21st anniversary conference is organized within the University of Siena (Siena, Italy), in the magnificent Unesco Heritage City of Siena.

A month ago Gonçalo Braga Fibra shared with me a paper on the naturalization of teleology, a concept that historically has unleashed thousands of philosophical discussions. Today I will review that paper, emphasizing its virtues and shortcomings.

Running since 2017, The Oxford Summer School in Economic Networks seeks to create a stimulating and friendly environment to bring students from varied disciplines together to learn about theories, techniques, quantitative methods, applications and impacts of network theory within economics.

The Embodied Intelligence Conferene is a free, online event which brings together a wide range of speakers to discuss the many challenges and opportunities in Embodied Intelligence research!

The Santa Fe Institute is looking for brave thinkers willing to explore new ideas about economics, policy, and governance. Early-career scholars and change-makers from civil society and private industry are equally encouraged to apply.

We are looking for highly qualified and motivated individuals to pursue a Ph.D. in the areas of social network analysis, (theory of) algorithms and fair machine learning. The prospective Ph.D. students will join a research team at TU Wien led by assistant professor Stefan Neumann.

Recently, dynamic trialectics has been proposed to show that life features such as cognition and agency are not algorithmic in nature. This perspective builds on classical notions of computation, leaving aside unconventional architectures for information processing. Here I explore a synthesis that potentially allows us to solve the problem of relevance (as proposed in the article) while keeping a computational narrative.

My lab is hiring a full-time research coordinator! Ideal for anyone who would like to pursue a PhD in computational social neuroscience and/or computational psychiatry. Application review starts on February 21, 2025.

Complexity72h is an interdisciplinary workshop for young researchers in complex systems. Participants form teams and carry out projects in a three days’ time, i.e. 72 hours. The goal of each team is to finalize a report of their work by the end of the event.
