Our team on the road @ KIAS
Our team took a trip to the Korean Institute for Advanced Study over spring break for a joint workshop on higher-order interactions in networks. The joint workshop between the Vermont Complex Systems Center and KIAS aims to bring together scholars from various disciplines, including physics, mathematics, computer science, social science, philosophy, and other fields, to explore the topic of higher-order network and hypergraph interactions. The workshop also aims to advance the state of knowledge on higher-order networks and hypergraphs, promote the development of new methods and tools for analyzing and visualizing complex networks, and discuss the implications of higher-order networks in diverse contexts.

The goal of this Vermont Complex Systems Center project at the University of Vermont is to deepen understanding of how people, teams and organizations thrive in technology-rich settings, especially in open-source projects and communities. The Google Open-Source Programs Office, a division of Google that manages Google’s use and release of open source software and promotes open source programming, has provided the University of Vermont (UVM) Complex Systems Center a $1 million unrestricted gift to support open source research. The Google award will establish a collaboration between the Google Open Source team and UVM to begin building a community-oriented body of research focused on understanding how open source platforms are used and what makes technology-rich environments thrive.
