There are over 7 billion people in the world, each with different complicated biological, psychological and sociological makeups. These people are intelligent entities who develop and change over time and who interact with each other in complicated social structures. Consequently, human behavior is likely to be complex, and the better understanding of human behavior elicits a multidisciplinary approach.
This event will zoom in one two particularly harmful aspects of human behavior: (1) the tendency of people to behave in manners that are not necessarily healthy or beneficial. This includes pressing topics such as substance use and abuse, eating unhealthy food, self-harm and suicidal ideation. Such behaviors are often coupled with the second topic: (2) mental health problems. We accept a broad range of submissions on both topics of research.
The event will take place on October 2, 2019, at the Nanyang Technological Institute over a full day, and will be part of the leading conference on complex systems: CCS 2019. It will include a mixture of senior keynote speakers, junior invited speakers, and contributed talks. We aim to accept a speakers from a diverse background in order to maximize the potential of starting a multidisciplinary discussion on these pressing issues. We will conclude the day with an introduction to new initiatives in urban mental health at the University of Amsterdam as well as an open discussion.
