New preprint!!!! 🚨

We studied the temporal evolution of food trade networks🍕🍜🥩, identifying heterogeneous topological shifts that eventually lead to an increase in vulnerability in food-insecure regions.🌏

Kudos to all coauthors! Very happy to see this one out.💪🏻

Cosnet Lab Nov 2025, welcoming its new members.

Highlights:
✅ New evaluation pipeline along 3 dimensions (fidelity, utility & privacy).
✅ 121 datasets tested
✅ Spatial accuracy & privacy preserved
✅ Outperforms copula & shuffling methods

Kudos to: Jacopo Lenti, Lorenzo Costantini, Anna Monticelli, David Scala and Marco Pangallo.

New preprint: Population synthesis with geographic coordinates 🌍

We introduce a method to generate synthetic populations with explicit lat/long coordinates.
Using Normalizing Flows + VAEs, we capture spatial + non-spatial correlations between samples and features.

From global trade to your gut health: we connected the dots on #FoodSystems at the @css-conference.bsky.social! We're simulating cross-scale shocks and co-evolution in companies & cities. Open question: assumptions about large-scale diet changes?

Conference of Complex Systems 2025: Satellite Session Food Systems This session at the Conference of Complex Systems in Siena, Italy, invites contributions that apply complexity science frameworks to understand and transform food systems.

Working on supply chains, food trade resilience, or agoecology?🌮🌾🚜

The Call for abstracts for the Satellite on Food Systems at the CCS Siena is now open!!

We’ll welcome your submissions until the 10th of July!

I had to leave by 16h 🫣 so I missed the awards…

Moreover, it’s been amazing to return to Maastricht after almost 5 years.

A lot has happened but it’s spirit never changes.

Wow, I trully didn’t expect this one!!
I have been awarded a Best Student Talk price at NetSci2025🤩

Thanks to all the organisers (@netsciconf.bsky.social) for this very exciting event.

At #NetSci2025 @netsciconf.bsky.social today? Don't miss Gemma Bel's poster at the Network Neuroscience satellite
