The workshop is the 13th of a series of tutorial workshops annually organized by the Italian Society for Chaos and Complexity (SICC) to explore the emergence of new research fields in which modeling, analysis and control of nonlinear and complex systems play a role of growing importance. These workshops have been traditionally devoted to an interdisciplinary audience with particular attention to PhD students and young researchers. The theme of this year is “Complexity and The City” with a unique focus on interactions, mobility, epidemics, information and misinformation spreading, and many other complex phenomena occurring in urban environments.
The workshop will gather scholars, students, and practitioners for two days of presentations and debates around complex systems science and its interplay with urban environments. A series of plenary lectures from renowned scholars is planned, while PhD students and young researchers will have dedicated sessions to present their research activity in an effective and appealing way. Social events will foster interaction and creation of collaboration opportunities.
The workshop is co-sponsored by:
- Compagnia di San Paolo, through a starting grant awardee to Prof. Alessandro Rizzo
- MISTI/MITOR Funding Initiative for collaborations between PoliTO and MIT
- The Siebel Energy Institute
