An international research team co-led by Hannes Mueller uses machine learning to obtain alerts of violent political conflicts
Preventing the outbreak and escalation of armed conflicts has become a central objective of international organizations. An international research team led by Hannes Mueller (IAE-CSIC and Barcelona GSE) and Christopher Rauh (University of Cambridge) has launched the website https://conflictforecast.org/ to offer forecasts of the risk of armed conflict in countries around the world. The forecast method, which uses machine learning techniques, is based on a database of more than 5 million newspaper articles which are updated continuously and aims to provide policy-makers with some early warning before existing tensions escalate into armed conflict. Forecasts are updated regularly and can be downloaded easily.

The Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) has launched 14 strategic themes to coordinate cutting-edge and multidisciplinary research teams that expand the frontiers of knowledge. These themes will function as large research teams to enhance synergy between areas of knowledge. For Theme 1, "New Foundations for a Sustainable Global Society" (see 3h08m30s), Jordi Brandts (IAE-CSIC) and Ada Ferrer-i-Carbonell (IAE-CSIC) are co-coordinators of Challenge 5, "Technological Change and New Forms of Work / Employment in Society" and Challenge 8, "Social Inclusion Strategies and Policies in Sustainable Welfare Systems", respectively.
2020-12-03: Ursula Mello has been awarded an AXA post-doctoral fellowship
We are pleased to announce the great news that Ursula Mello (IAE-CSIC and Barcelona GSE) has been awarded an AXA post-doctoral fellowship for two years, in order to support her project "Public Policies for Tackling Inequality" at the IAE-CSIC. She will study how governmental policy could reduce inequality in access to higher education. All our congratulations go to Ursula who made it through a significant competition for this grant. Her project is one of just eight projects worldwide (and the only one in Spain) to receive funding.
