The TU Wien is a founding member of the Complexity Science Hub (CSH, https://csh.ac.at). The CSH works on creating a profound scientific understanding of complex systems based on large amounts of data to solve global problems (e.g. supply-chain disruptions, armed conflicts, energy shortages) in a transdisciplinary way.

At the event, CSH researchers will give short talks on some research topics at the CSH (see program below). The PhD program in the Digital Innovation School will also be presented. The networking lunch will allow you to meet and discuss with CSH researchers.

The event takes place on the 7th of November from 12:00-13:30 (followed by networking over lunch) in TUtheSky (Getreidemarkt 9, Building BA, 11th Floor, 1060 Vienna). The event is held in English.

Participation is open to all TU Wien staff. Please register here by 31.10.2024:
