“The science of complex systems provides us with new methods and novel ways of addressing these systems that were thought to be unintelligible only a few decades ago. Complexity science links state-of-the-art mathematics, modelling, data and computer science with fundamental questions posed from various disciplines, such as medicine, economics, ecology or social sciences, and opens new paths to a deeper understanding of systemic risks, resilience, efficiency, and the requirements for sustainable innovation and creativity…. The objective of the Hub is to host, educate, and inspire complex systems scientists, who are dedicated to make sense of Big Data in ways that are valuable for science and society. The Hub catalyzes research in a network of established scientists and the most creative, talented, and open-minded next-generation academics. The Complexity Science Hub Vienna was founded with the vision to become the focal point of complexity science in Europe.”
