IFISC (Institute for Cross-disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems)
is a joint research center of the University of the Balearic Islands
(UIB) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) based in Palma
de Mallorca.
The PACSS project,
https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/research/projects/pacss/, is organized in
two work-packages: WP1 is devoted to the study of the basic mechanisms
in social models, and WP2 focuses on data-driven research. Specific
topics include
- Urban systems, energy and mobility (data and theory)
- Epidemic spreading and complex contagion
- Evolutionary game theory
- Ecology of social interactions
- Stochastic systems, aging, noise, network co-evolution, delays in
social systems (opinion dynamics, language competition, etc.)
