An interacting group of people, the collectively active neurons in the brain, or the transportation system of a city. These are examples of complex systems, which are all intrinsically dynamical. They can be commonly interpreted as a set of entities, which interact over time and form a network structure coding the architecture of the system in hand.

Mobile data collection, data analysis through artificial intelligence,  the use of satellite imagery in creating detection models to identify informal settlements and calculating poverty, and - as it's happening in the COVID-19 global crisis - the development of new models to predict and evaluate the evolution of a pandemic emergency and the effects of public health interventions.

On February 21, 2020, a cluster of SARS-CoV-2 cases was officially reported in the province of Lodi, marking the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.

What can digital and computational approaches reveal about the relationships between mortality, fertility, mobility, and the spread of COVID-19?

Cities are not gender-neutral, nor is urban mobility. In a new paper out in Humanities and Social Science Communications, an international team of researchers, including ISI Foundation Ciro Cattuto, Laetitia Gauvin, Michele Tizzoni, Stefaan Verhulst and Simone Piaggesi, analyzes call detail records for a large cohort of anonymized mobile phone users, to reveal a gender gap in mobility.

Sometimes it takes a lot of time. After eight years working at the interface of topological data analysis and network theory, ISI  Foundation Senior Research Scientist Giovanni Petri has led an international team of researchers, including former ISI Junior Researchers Alice Patania and Iacopo Iacopini, to compile, elaborate and present one of the first complete overviews of the emerging field of networks beyond pairwise interactions.

Why do Trump supporters support Trump? How was his political campaign able to attract a large support, ultimately reshaping the U.S. political landscape?

Siamo nel mezzo di una rivoluzione che non ha precedenti: la rivoluzione digitale. La nostra vita è sempre più dipendente da grandi masse di dati, dalle quali gli strumenti generati dall'impetuoso sviluppo dell'Intelligenza Artificiale permettono di estrarre informazioni e conoscenza, facendone un ingrediente potente, prezioso e cruciale dei processi decisionali.

In a global society where the always increasing mobile connectivity affects every aspect of our daily lives, socio-demographic attributes are highly associated to specific news media consumption patterns. This is one of the results coming from a new paper published in EPJ Data Science.

Francesco Bonchi has been appointed as the new Scientific Director of ISI Foundation.

Online and kicking. Originally set in Taipei, inside the program of the Web Conference 2020, the Data Science for Social Good workshop developed as a series of online Zoom presentations, with participants joining from home.

How can online surveys help monitoring diseases? ISI Foundation  Researcher Daniela Paolotti will focus on this issue on a webinar hosted by the School of Sciences and Technologies of the University of  Camerino, Tuesday 21th April at 16.30 (CET).

In recent years, many studies have drawn attention to the important role of collective awareness and human behaviour during epidemic outbreaks. A number of modelling efforts have investigated the interaction between the disease transmission dynamics and human behaviour change mediated by news coverage and by information spreading in the population.

ISI Foundation is among the members of EpiPose, a new European project that aims to provide urgently needed answers about the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19, the behavioural dynamics of the outbreak,  and the related public health preparedness and response to the ongoing epidemic, as well as to assess its economic impact.

La Legge Finanziaria per il  2020 prevede la possibilità di destinare il 5 per mille delle tue imposte alla Fondazione ISI, in quanto Ente di Ricerca Scientifica.

In recent years, following the reappearance of measles in the US and Europe, a growing debate on the merits of vaccination has spread on social media.

Due to the measures related to the COVID-19 outbreak our Institute is fully active in non-standard remote operation.<br>Do not hesitate to contact us by email in case of necessity.

Fondazione CRT, together with The GovLab and ISI Foundation has promoted an international call for action aimed at increasing the availability and use of data to tackle the current global emergency.

COVID-19 e ISI<br>Tramite le informazioni ricavate dall’analisi di grandi quantità di dati, la misurazione dei comportamenti<br>umani e lo sviluppo di modelli e algoritmi predittivi, l'Istituto aiuta la comunità internazionale a<br>conoscere meglio la pandemia in corso e a fronteggiare la più grande sfida sanitaria, sociale ed<br>economica del nostro tempo.

Italy has been the first European country where the COVID-19 epidemic has triggered an unprecedented and escalating series of restrictions on travel and individual mobility of citizens.

In the global move toward urbanization, making sure the people remaining in rural areas are not left behind in terms of development and policy considerations is a priority for governments worldwide.

On 11 February, Jesuit father George Coyne, an internationally renowned astronomer, died at the age of 87 in Syracuse in New York State, where he had settled after directing the Vatican Observatory for 28 years.

Two days to show the on-going research in the wide area of Artificial Intelligence. This is the ISI Informal Workshop on Learning, Algorithms and Networks, hosted on Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th February 2020 at the ISI Foundation in Turin.

Online social media offer unprecedented freedom and rapidness of interpersonal interactions. Within traditional models of opinion dynamics, such increase in the interaction rate would lead to quickly reaching a consensus.
