2022 SFI Complex Systems Summer School cohort at the Santa Fe Institute

Program Overview

Many challenges in the world today – disease dynamics, collective and artificial intelligence, belief propagation, financial risk, national security, and  ecological sustainability – exceed traditional academic disciplinary boundaries and demand a rigorous understanding of complexity. Complexity science aims to quantitatively describe and understand the adaptive, evolvable and thus hard-to-predict behaviors of complex systems. For more than 30 years, SFI's Complex Systems Summer School has provided early-career researchers with formal and rigorous training in complexity science and integrated them into a global research community. Through this transdisciplinary, highly collaborative experience, participants are equipped to address important questions in a range of topics and find patterns across diverse systems. This program took place June 12 – July 8, 2022 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
