In the latest two years, Covid-19 taught us many things. Among them is the critical role of information diffusion in health emergencies and crisis management.<br>Not only the complexities of science knowledge and the scientific method are difficult to communicate to a broad audience, but the contemporary media context – increasingly dominated by digital social networks – tends to yield extreme oversimplifications, polarized narratives and misinformation spreading, thus leading to a phenomenon that has been frequently called information epidemic, or «infodemic».

Francesco Bonchi will discuss algorithmic bias and gender discrimination in AI (in italian)

ISI is a scientific partner of Festival delle Scienze and will be present on November 24, 2021 with the "Alfabeti" an event in collaboration with Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and Dmitri Tymoczko, Professor at Princton University.

Network science helps us to better understand the evolution of the highly interconnected world in which we live, and complex networks have become the main paradigm for modelling the dynamics of interacting systems. However, networks are intrinsically limited to describing pairwise interactions, whereas real-world systems are often characterized by higher-order interactions involving groups of three or more units and complex connections. Higher-order mathematical structures, such as hypergraphs and simplicial complexes, are therefore a better tool to map the real organization of many social, biological and man-made systems.

The team at ISI Foundation, which coordinates the development and scientific activities of the Influenzanet network, is looking for a Developer to manage and maintain the deployment of the Influenzanet platform in Italy and several other countries.<br><br>

During the COVID-19 pandemic, for the first time in an epidemic, it has been possibile to track through digital platforms in real time all the dramatic changes in human behaviors caused by public health advice, stay-at-home orders and self-imposed limitations. Digital traces such as mobile phone data, social media posts, search engine queries, bank transactions have revealed how the pandemic has deeply changed our daily habits, such as mobility patterns and social and economic interactions.

Within the EvoGamesPlus ITN project, we offer 1 fully-funded 3-year position for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs).

La Strategia Dati Nazionale sta diventando realtà. Il Dipartimento per la trasformazione digitale della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri, insieme ad altri quattordici enti, ha redatto le linee guida di una strategia incentrata sulle esigenze e sui bisogni dei cittadini, nell'ottica di una gestione dei dati pubblici basata sul rispetto dei diritti umani, sulla democrazia e sulla sostenibilità.

There is a new simple, robust, scaling law in the studies of human travel, that includes a component rarely considered in previous theories: visitation frequency, i.e. the number of trips that someone makes to a location per unit of time. In a new paper recently out in Nature, a team of researchers including former ISI affiliate Michael Szell suggests that the number of visitors to any location decreases as the inverse square of the product of their visiting frequency and travel distance.
