The 8th International Conference on Complex Networks and their Applications is an international event that brings together researchers from different scientific communities working on areas related to complex networks. Held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 10th to 12th December, the conference is preceded Monday 9th December by a satellite event, the “Complex Networks 2019 Satellite: Social Good”.

Marseille is hosting the9th International Digital Public Health Conference. Held in conjunction with the 12th European Public Health Conference, DPH19 is a world leading annual interdisciplinary event on research and innovation in digital health, bringing together researchers and audiences from Public Health, Computer and Data Science, MedTech industry and NGOs.

From 18th to 21st November, Doha (Qatar) is hosting SocInfo 2019, the 11th International Conference on Social Informatics. The conference is gathering researchers from Computer Science, Informatics, Social Sciences and Management Sciences to share ideas and opinions, and present original research work on studying the interplay between socially-centric platforms and social phenomena.

ISI Foundation Deputy Director Francesco Bonchi will open the 8th International Conference on Computational Data and Social Networks.

How is Artificial Intelligence shaping the future of health? This is the big issue addressed by ICAIH 2019, the first Industrial Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Health.

What are the perspectives brought by artificial intelligence, what the challenges and what the methods and tools for addressing them? What projects, studies and social experiments can lead to a corpus of shared knowledge and shape R&D agendas? And what are the initiatives that may help the progress of AI for the benefit of humankind? These are just some of the issues addressed by the international and multidisciplinary Global Forum on AI for Humanity (GFAIH).

ISI Foundation is among the few European partners of the newly launched AccelNet-MultiNet project, a joint effort aimed at expanding the international community of scientific discovery and training focused around the exploration of multilayer network science.

Technology can (and should) serve society. It did it in the past, as it shows a perfect example of sustainable industrial innovation in the XX century like Olivetti's experience in Ivrea (recently recognized by UNESCO as a protected world heritage site), and it can do it now, in the midst of digital revolution.

The Lagrange Prize-CRT Foundation Edition 2019 has been assigned to Iain D. Couzin from Max Plack Institute of Animal Behavior and David Gruber from City University of New York.

Three new researchers are joining the ISI Fellow program for 2019-2022.

Prof. Yamir Moreno, Deputy Director of Complex Networks & Systems at ISI Foundation has been recently awarded with the “Senior Scientific Award”granted by the Complex Systems Society (CSS) in recognition of his research career and his several contributions to the Science of Complexity.

Network Science has been very successful in providing simplified statistical mechanical descriptions of large complex systems. Topology, in particular computational and applied topology, has found large use in computer graphics, robotics, biology and chemistry.

The ISI Foundation is looking for exceptional candidates to join the Algorithmic Data Analytics research team, under the supervision of Dr. Francesco Bonchi.

The ISI Foundation is looking for excellent candidates at all level of seniority to join the Financial AI Lab, a mixed initiative between fundamental research performed at ISI Foundation and real-world business-driven challenges posed by Intesa Sanpaolo Group (the largest financial group in Italy, and 3rd largest in Europe).
