Winter Workshop on Complex Systems (France; 24-28 January 2022)
The primary focus of the workshop is for participants to engage into novel research projects. Participants in the workshops are experts in solving complex problems with advanced modeling and data science tools, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, in biology, pharmacology, social networks, economics and finance. As complex systems researchers, they have strong critical thinking skills, are very creative and are used to work in multidisciplinary teams. The workshop will also host world class invited speakers that will offer mentorship to participants during the workshop. Website - https://wwcs2022.github.io/
The call for participation in the 2022 edition of the Winter Workshop on Complex Systems is now open!
This is the 7th edition of the WWCS and it will be held in the East of France (Besançon and Arc-et-Senans) from January 24th to January 28th 2022. Previously it was held in Brussels, Madrid, Petnica, Utrecht, Zakopane and Gruyere.
The WWCS was inspired by the Sante Fe Institute's Complex Systems Summer School (CSSS) and its goal is to inspire and promote interdisciplinary collaborations in complex systems research. As such, the focus of the week will be to initiate new interdisciplinary projects. The workshop is open to postdocs and experienced PhD students (about 40 in total). A large portion of the workshop will be dedicated to project teams spending time developing project ideas that they will present at the end of the workshop. To facilitate this, we will have a number of other activities, including talks from invited speakers, tutorials, social activities and games.
We have invited 4 speakers:
Alain Barrat
David Chavalarias
Linda Douw
Stephen Thurner
who will also be around during the workshop to offer advice and join in the collaboration.
The cost of the workshop is 200 euros and includes:

Coffee Break
Social Dinner
Transport between Besançon and Arc-et-Senans (where the venue is)
