DDDI Co-Sponsors IC2S2 2024

The Data Driven Discovery Initiative is proud to co-sponsor this year’s International Conference for Computational Social Science (IC2S2). This year’s conference will be held at the University of Pennsylvania from July 17th-20th, 2024.

IC2S2 has emerged as the dominant conference at the intersection of social and computational science, bringing together researchers from around the world in economics, sociology, political science, psychology, cognitive science, management, computer science, statistics and the full range of natural and applied sciences committed to understanding the social world through large-scale data and computation. IC2S2 is the annual conference of the International Society for Computational Social Science.

The full-scale three-day conference (July 17th-20th) will feature research and researchers from around the world, across a broad range of relevant fields, and working on all areas of computational social science to advance its many frontiers.

The IC2S2 community actively balances and maintains a conversation between social and computational scientists which integrates technological advances and opportunities with social scientific rigor and insight.

Data Scientists @ Penn

Introductory Meet & Greet

The DDDI, in collaboration with IDEAS, IBI and RDDS, is hosting a Data Scientists at Penn Introductory Event, which will bring together practitioners of data science, software engineering, and visualization from across the University. By providing a platform for researchers of various backgrounds to discuss the role of data science in their ongoing projects, this event aims to foster more collaboration between Penn’s multitude of schools and centers. In doing so, this event will also provide an opportunity for attendees to envision new ways to use data science tools in their own research projects. If you are in a role like Research Software Engineer, Systems Architect, or Data Scientist, and have a passion for exchanging ideas, come join us!
