Human Health Complexity: problems, concepts & methods, data (on-site)

Part of the seminar series "Human Health Complexity"

In this session, we explore the complexity approach in the health sciences, with special interest to health of individuals. What kind of problems can we address with a complexity approach? Which concepts and methods are needed to address them? And what kind of data need to be collected and analyzed?
Date

About the series

Health is notoriously a complex phenomenon. Questions about what health and disease are, how they spread across individuals and populations, and how we can intervene to reduce the burden of disease have been approached from very different disciplinary, conceptual, and methodological perspective. In this seminar series, we continue the conversation on human health complexity that was initiated at IAS during Spring 2022. We focus on questions about problems, concepts & methods, and data. Our goal is to contribute to exchanging ideas and approaches, and gradually building what may be called distinctively a ‘complexity approach’ in the health sciences.

The series is composed of 1 on-site event and of 3 online events with the following dates and topics.
