What are the biggest challenges society will face in the next years? 💻 #AI-driven job loss? 🚚 #SupplyChain disruptions? 📨 Threats to #democracy? ☀️ Or obstacles to a #GreenTransition? Complexity science helps us uncover the hidden networks and vulnerabilities that shape these issues, allowing us to identify key intervention points. ❄️ The 2025 CSH Winter School will gather #students, #postdocs, #researchers, and #practitioners from diverse fields, alongside expert #faculty from the CSH network. Participants will dive into production networks, labor markets, cities, crime, and more, seeking to integrate models and data to better understand and prepare for future shocks. The program is ideal for graduate students, postdocs, early-career faculty, and research professionals, but also welcomes participants from government, NGOs, and industry. Ready to deepen your expertise and build a more resilient future? 🗓️ Apply now until December 1st! 🔗 csh.ac.at/education/wintersc… #ComplexityScience #WinterSchool2025 #Resilience with our members @AITtomorrow2day | @BOKUvienna | @ceu | @MedUni_Wien | @tugraz | @tu_wien | @unikrems @VetmeduniVienna | @wu_vienna | @WKOe

Understanding and predicting human mobility in urban areas is very important. Unfortunately, there are no large, standardized, and open datasets to compare different models. Here, we introduce a new open, anonymized dataset of 100k individual mobility trajectories. Check it out!
📢 Dear colleagues working on human mobility modeling and prediction -- we are excited to announce a new open dataset of human mobility which contains city-scale, longitudinal, anonymized, 100,000 individual mobility trajectories. Scientific Data: nature.com/articles/s41597-0…
