How do individual actions cascade into global movements? 🌐 The 14th Computational Social Science satellite bridges large-scale #data with models of #social phenomena! Join us at #CCS2026 to unpack emergent patterns, from peer production to #complex contagion. See you there!

For those planning to attend CCS26 in Binghamton: the SECS call is now open! Up to €800 to cover registration, travel, accommodation, and visas. Open to everyone up to 4 years post-PhD working on complex systems :) Deadline: July 8th 2026 (AoE) 📋 yrcss.cssociety.org/grants/secs/

But I thought social scientists could just study LLMs now.

new paper by Sean Westwood: With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Are you a young researcher in Complex Systems? Do you need financial support to present your research at a Complex Systems conference/Workshop? Or to visit another researcher and collaborate on an innovative project? Our grants are back!

Our work on the dynamics of urban expansion just got published in the Physical Review Letters ! journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

Super happy to share that, after two great years @chub-fbk.bsky.social, I've just joined @uc3m.es and the GISC as an assistant prof in applied maths :)))

@abbasrizi.bsky.social on stage talking about homophily within and across groups #CCS2025

The satellite on Computational Social Science is starting in room 13. @lajello.bsky.social is our first speaker. Join us! #ccs2025

Wide coverage of social media and disinformation analysis yesterday from our lab at the @css-conference.bsky.social, with four talks presenting our works associate to the European projects #AI4TRUST #AICODE_EU #HATEDEMICS

Finishing the social media session, @tlouf.bsky.social explores Telegram as a weighted, directed temporal network. His methodology reveals clustering, burstiness, and assortativity, all of them phenomena that are relevant when building reliable agent-based models. #CCS2025

Great energy at the poster session today! It was a pleasure to be part of it presenting our work "How to design a collection strategy for monitoring disinformation and hate speech in Telegram". Excited for round two tomorrow – see you all there! ☀️

🚨If you're around Paris come to see @tlouf.bsky.social talking today about the structure and dynamics of information flow on Telegram at @sunbelt2025paris.bsky.social and @css-fr.bsky.social

How do cities expand? Using surface growth physics, we found a unique exponent governing their local geometry. Instead, their dynamics range from smooth diffusion to abrupt coalescence, with demographic pressure driving where each city lands on that spectrum. arxiv.org/abs/2506.10656

Universal roughness and the dynamics of urban expansion

We present a new approach to quantify urban sprawl using tools from surface growth physics. Analyzing built-up area expansion in 19 cities (1985-2015), we uncover anisotropic growth with branch-like e...

What started off as "hey why don't we have our organisations talk to each other to coordinate on stuff?" led up to this cool project some months later. We hope it'll prove useful to the community! 🤗
