The Center for the Dynamics of Social Complexity (DySoC) focuses on computational study of the evolution of knowledge, innovation and society. DySoC members and affiliates use methods of computational social science, cultural evolution, social psychology, anthropology, artificial intelligence and information science. DySoC brings together researchers, students, and international collaborators to explore the frontiers of computational social science, cultural evolution, and the dynamics of scientific change. Webinars featuring international speakers are scheduled for Spring 2025, followed by a full schedule of seminars and workshops in the 2025–2026 academic year. DySoC has welcomed new members and strengthened partnerships with Advai Ltd. (UK), RAND, Florida International University, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and Durham University (UK). Ongoing DySoC-affiliated projects include: Scaling of innovation in U.S. cities (Barcelona–UTK collaboration). AI model collapse in population-scale text (with Advai Ltd., London). Cultural values and geopolitical opinion shifts in post-Soviet republics. DySoC unites members, students, and international collaborators under three primary research themes: computational social science, cultural evolution, and the social complexity of science.
