Complexity Theory and the Social Sciences: An Introduction

Prof David Byrne

💡 Complexity is not just a measure of how intricate, or sophisticated, something is. It defines the topology of information flow and of the processes which make Nature work!

"The increase in social #complexity over human #history is obvious. The problem I have with a lot of work in this area, is that social complexity is so hard to define systematically."

😱 One more thing: the doctoral track.
If you are talented and your grades are excellent, you can apply to the doctoral track where your final target is not the master’s degree but a PhD; your studies are tailored towards that goal and you’ll get to spend time as intern in our research groups, with the aim of publishing the first journal article(s) of your thesis already before you get the master’s degree.

So, what are you waiting for? Apply here! The deadline is on Jan 3rd, 2020.

What is #complexity? Wiesner will provide a compact but comprehensive overview of the different ways that systems can be complex, offering an aggregate definition. She will discuss the role of complexity measures, and why complexity cannot be captured by a single number. https://t.co/nHvi800cwW

New #PhD position in the lab of Barbara Drossel. Very exciting place, with lots of things going on. If you fancy work on #dynamics, #ecology, #networks, and #complexity this is highly recommended.
