Conference: Contagion on Complex Social Systems 2023

研究信息、疾病和思想如何在社会中传播，对于理解和解决紧迫的社会问题至关重要，这些问题包括公共卫生危机、错误信息和国家安全。我们目前对这些过程的理解是碎片化的，因为对传染过程的研究是孤立的。该奖项为第二届“复杂社会系统传染”（CCSS）会议提供资金，该会议为来自不同领域的研究人员交流思想和开发复杂社会系统传染模型的创新方法提供了平台。将有6场来自各自领域的主要研究人员的邀请演讲，多达25场贡献演讲的机会，以及专家主导的讨论。会议的一个基本焦点是培训科学工作者使用尖端的方法和工具，从而促进一个熟练的研究社区的发展。CCSS会议旨在通过汇集来自应用数学、社会科学、公共卫生、流行病学、经济学、生态学和计算机科学的研究人员，促进跨学科合作，推进对社会系统中传染过程的理解。会议的主题包括流行病建模、错误信息传播和金融传染等，其明确目标是获得对传染过程的综合理解。会议将强调对早期职业研究人员的支持，并致力于通过鼓励代表性不足的群体参与来促进多样性和包容性。讲座视频和讲稿将上传到会议网站：https://ccss-conference.github.io/This该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

Studying how information, diseases, and ideas spread through society is crucial for understanding and addressing pressing societal issues, including public health crises, misinformation, and national security. Our current understanding of these processes is fragmented because research on contagion processes occurs in silos. This award provides funding for the second edition of the "Contagion on Complex Social Systems" (CCSS) conference, which serves as a platform for researchers from diverse fields to exchange ideas and develop innovative approaches for modeling contagion in complex social systems. There will be six invited talks from leading researchers in their respective fields, the opportunity for up to 25 contributed talks, and expert-led discussions. An essential focus of the conference is training the scientific workforce in cutting-edge methods and tools, thus fostering the growth of a skilled research community.The CCSS conference aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and advance the understanding of contagion processes in social systems by bringing together researchers from applied mathematics, social sciences, public health, epidemiology, economics, ecology, and computer science. The conference features presentations on topics such as epidemic modeling, misinformation spread, and financial contagion, with the explicit aim of attaining an integrated understanding of contagion processes. The conference will emphasize support to early career researchers and is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion by encouraging participation from underrepresented groups. Videos of the lectures and transcript will be uploaded on the conference website: https://ccss-conference.github.io/This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
