It was a pleasure having such brilliant participants at the 'Introduction to Complex Systems' Summer School @ccss-uu.bsky.social #utrechtsummerschool. This week has flown by and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them all learn and have fun getting their head around the many #complex phenomena discussed.
And we're off! The 'Introduction to Complex Systems' summer school has started with a great lecture by Ammy Vogtlander: "Uncertainty is the essence of diversity." And it is that diversity we need for resilience. @ccss-uu.bsky.social #utrechtsummerschool #complexity
