CCS 2022 Warm-up – yrCSS

Coinciding with the Conference on Complex Systems, and profiting from the opportunity offered by the presence of a wide variety of experts in different topics, we are organising three-day school for PhD students and early-stage researchers. The school is an informal two-day event that offers early-stage scientists the opportunity to hear talks from prominent young researchers, learn about the scientific and life experience of young and senior researchers, socialise and have fun playing the specifically tailored trivia.

The school is going to be to be held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain on October 14-16, 2022, before the main CCS conference. The preliminary school schedule consists of four lectures from young scientists, scientific writing workshop session, project-making event, pub quiz and social event on-site. The sessions will be divided by informal coffee breaks, where participants may chatter with their peers.

Complexity and change: thinking, practices and processes for addressing global challenges 

Conference | 5 – 9 September 2022, Online

This conference builds upon the experience of the CES Winter School 2020 named “Sustainable development, complexity and change: thinking and practices for the SDG and other objectives”. It is based on a logic of deep interdisciplinarity, oriented towards promoting productive, collaborative, critical and creative dialogues between different disciplines and modes of thinking, between theory and research and the practices that “in the real world” enact and realise, critique or present alternative or complementary proposals to addressing critical global challenges. 

This conference is organised around key challenges, targeting the following themes: 
(1) Being and Thinking Together (in) Complexity
(2) Knowing Together: Grasping the Complexity of the World 
(3) Living Together: Peace and Communities of Well-Being 
(4) Learning and Teaching Together
(5) Changing and Acting Together

Virtual Workshop: Is AI Extending the Mind?

April 11-15, 2022

The extended mind hypothesis suggests that cognition does not just occur in our minds, but also extends into the physical world around us. Cognition is then a process involving a system of coupled components that work together to enact intelligent processes. In this workshop, we revisit this point of view in the context of modern scientific advances. This workshop will consist largely of discussions centered around the main theme of the workshop, with daily keynotes addressing Agency, AI Ethics, and Human Augmentation.
