Bridge grant

The Bridge Grants are a way for us to encourage young scientists to look for new scientific collaborations. We provide its awardees with financial support for a short external visit. More precisely, each application for a Bridge Grant must be submitted by two young researchers in complexity science. One of them is a receiving and the second a visiting candidate. The visiting candidate obtains the financial support to travel to the receiving candidate’s institution and work together on a project that addresses a problem in the field of complex systems. We try to limit the bureaucracy to a minimum, so after the visit, we ask only for a report to post on our website and receipts of main expenses. Bridge Grants are nice and simple, so don’t hesitate to apply!

Charting the Uncharted: Interview with Sune Lehmann

🎞 https://youtu.be/hbbjq54nQO8

🎧 Audio File

With Sune Lehmann, we explore his unconventional journey from traditional physics to the wild world of social data science and interdisciplinary research. We discuss the challenges of stepping into new fields, the process of unlearning and relearning, and the art of developing an instinct for meaningful research questions. Sune shares his thoughts on blending theory with real-world application, the evolving nature of the scientific inquiry, and what it takes to stay innovative in a rapidly changing landscape.

Sune is a Professor of Networks and Complexity Science at the Technical University of Denmark and a Professor of Social Data Science at the Center for Social Data Science (SODAS) at the University of Copenhagen. In this conversation, he reflects on the balance between deep analytical work and the hands-on excitement of experiments, all while mentoring the next generation of researchers.

Whether you're an early-career scientist or simply curious about how data shapes our understanding of human behavior, this discussion offers valuable insights and thought-provoking perspectives.
