INFORMATION

Summary

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, which also evolve and grow denser over time. 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. And (2) mental health problems, with a focus on complexities arising due to the increasing urbanization living environment of people over the world. We accept a broad range of submissions on both topics of research.

The event will take place on December 9 and will be fully online. The event will be part of the leading conference on complex systems: CCS 2020. It will include a mixture of senior keynote speakers, junior invited speakers, and contributed talks. We aim to accept speakers from a diverse background in order to maximize the potential of starting a multidisciplinary discussion on these pressing issues.

If you wish to present your work in this event, please use the submission portal below to submit your abstract. Attendance of the event requires registration for CCS 2020, but this can also be a registration for one day only.
