Deadline: 27 November 2026

Are you a young researcher interested in complex systems, cultural heritage, and Digital Humanities? Would you like to spend three days working with researchers from different disciplines on real-world datasets?

Join us for Complexity Meets Heritage, a three-day workshop at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, 15–17 February 2027!

Participants will work in teams on datasets from the Fondazione Giorgio Cini’s digital collections, including historical documents, publications, and photographic archives. Using tools from complexity science, network science, and computational data analysis, they will explore these collections, identify patterns and connections, and develop new research questions.

Who we are looking for
We seek students and early-career researchers eager to take part in an intensive, collaborative research experience. Participants will be divided into small interdisciplinary teams (6–8 people).

Applicants should upload:
– An academic CV
– A short cover letter describing their background, interests, and motivation for participating in Complexity Meets Heritage

The registration fee for each participant is 270 EUR (shared double room) or 320 EUR (single room) and includes:

• Accommodation for two nights (check-in on Monday 15 February, check-out on Wednesday 17 February) at the Vittore Branca Center Residence on the San Giorgio island, Venice
• Workshop facilities (workplaces, rooms, wifi) at Fondazione Giorgio Cini
• Coffee breaks and lunches during the workshop
• Invited lectures (TBA soon)
• Social event and dinner on Monday
• Workshop welcome kit
