C2S2 was created in September 2021 by an agreement between the Department of Sociology and Social Research, the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Trento and the Fondazione Bruno Kessler.is composed of an interdisciplinary group of sociologists, computer scientists, economists, statisticians, physicists, social and behavioural psychologists, philosophers, linguists, and humanists with a common interest in working in computational social science and data science. (currently 30 members)
At the C2S2 we pay particular attention to the role that computational social science and data science will play both in fostering an improved understanding of the systems of social organization, production, communication, and consumption and human behaviour, and in responding to the technological, economic, and social transformations induced by new technologies on the forms of social, economic and daily human organization.
We aim to develop innovative research, models, methodologies, techniques and applications by exploiting the potential for knowledge and applications offered by big data, data mining, machine learning and AI applications, and by the formal and theoretical elaboration in computational social sciences.
