SUMMARY:Winter Workshop on Complex Systems
DESCRIPTION:The Winter Workshop on Complex Systems (WWCS 2026) is a week-long research event taking place from January 25–30\, 2026\, in Spain. It brings together early-career researchers from around the world to collaboratively explore interdisciplinary topics in complexity science. More than a traditional academic workshop\, WWCS provides an environment where participants can propose original ideas\, develop them into concrete projects\, and often publish results in leading journals\, reecting the depth and quality of the work produced during the event. Founded in 2014 by researchers connected through the Santa Fe Institute Summer School\, WWCS has steadily gained recognition in the complexity science community. In 2022\, it was honored with the Complex Systems Society Service Award for its lasting impact. The workshop is built around the values of collaboration\, creativity\, and inclusivity. Participants from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds contribute to a dynamic atmosphere and innovative thinking. Themes span the full spectrum of complexity science\, with content largely shaped by the participants themselves\, who propose and lead research projects aligned with their interests. The week culminates in a presentation session where teams share preliminary ndings\, often the foundation for long-term collaborations. Accessibility is also central to WWCS. By keeping registration fees low and offering nancial support\, the organizers ensure broad participation regardless of funding situation. This commitment helps sustain a vibrant community\, not only during the event but also within the growing global network of WWCS alumni. Today\, WWCS stands as a unique opportunity for early-career scientists to engage in hands-on\, interdisciplinary research while building lasting connections with peers and mentors. Participants can expect a challenging\, inspiring\, and enjoyable experience that continues to resonate long after the workshop ends.

SUMMARY:Winter School on Applied Economics for Sustainable Development (WiSED)
DESCRIPTION:Winter School on Applied Economics for Sustainable Development (WiSED):\nThe challenges of ecological transition: North-South perspective\nIMPORTANT: Application deadline: Extended to Friday\, November 10\, 2025\n  \n  \nThis initiative is jointly organized by Tuscia University (UNITUS)\, the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Acatlán (UNAM FES-A)\, and the Latin American Institute (Freie Universität). \nObjective: WiSED aims to foster critical reflection on sustainable economic development in Latin America by bridging regional schools of thought with hands-on quantitative methods. Distinguished keynote speakers will offer critical analyses—rooted in their respective intellectual traditions—of the barriers and opportunities that developing economies face in the green and energy transition. The final day of the program will be dedicated to a conference featuring research papers and presentations by the participants. \nOfficial Languages: English. \n  \nLocation: Tuscia University (UNITUS)- Viterbo\, Italy \n  \nTarget Audience: \nWiSED is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students in Europe specializing in development studies\, environmental economics\, and/or energy transition. It also welcomes Latin American students based in Europe working on related topics. \nIn collaboration with the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI)\, a pre-conference session will be held to promote the participation of young scholars. Selected participants will also attend the main Winter School activities. \nWiSED will include a broader group of students and researchers\, as well as keynote speakers invited by the organizing institutions (UNITUS\, UNAM-FES Acatlán\, and the Latin American Institute at Freie Universität). The pre-conference seeks to foster exchange between YSI members and the wider academic community. \nPartial funding will be available through YSI. \nProgram Structure \n\nPart A. Morning Theoretical courses: Plenary sessions featuring leading scholars who will discuss:\n\nTheoretical and policy-oriented perspectives on green transitions\nCase studies of renewable energy adoption\, industrial policy\, and inclusive growth\n\n\nPart B. Afternoon Hands-on workshop: Intensive\, application-focused training in quantitative techniques.\n\nThe Ecological Transition from a North-South Perspective: Theoretical and Empirical Analytical Tools\nPart One – A: Theoretical Course \n\nGeneral Description: The course is designed to provide analytical tools for examining the relationship between ecological transition and economic development from the perspectives of theory\, measurement approaches\, and policy implications. This objective will be achieved by employing the frameworks of ecological macroeconomics\, new developmentalism\, and sustainable human development. These perspectives will enable a comprehensive analysis of how the ecological transition can be addressed through the study of structural change\, innovation\, social inclusion\, and the coordination of fiscal\, monetary\, industrial\, and environmental policies. Special emphasis will be placed on topics such as the Green New Deal and just transition\, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the United Nations 2030 Agenda.\nObjective: Participants will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the principal economic and social dimensions of the ecological transition\, as well as proficiency in theoretical and empirical analytical tools essential for formulating effective policy proposals. In addition\, one of the course objectives is to foster a critical awareness of the complexity inherent in the phenomenon\, the diversity of both mainstream and heterodox approaches\, and the varying geographical perspectives between the Global North—with particular emphasis on the European Union—and the Global South\, with specific reference to Latin America\n\nPart One – B: Hands-on Workshop \n\nGeneral Description: This session will encompass the analysis of empirical research and case studies about the ecological transition\, ecological structural change and policy coordination\, as well as the construction of multidimensional indicators for sustainable human development and the formulation of macroeconomic econometric models. Participants will gain practical experience implementing these tools using R to evaluate issues related to environmental exports\, international competitiveness\, R&D expenditure\, as well as human development index.\nObjective: This session aims to equip participants with the advanced skills in the critical review and application of empirical methodologies within the context of ecological transition. Moreover\, the workshop aims to give to the participants the ability to design and implement multidimensional indicators that capture the complexity of human development in line with sustainability criteria. It wants to enhance their capacity to integrate empirical evidence and quantitative modeling in the formulation of policy recommendations and academic research\n\nEnergy transitions in Latin America\nPart One – A: Theoretical Course \n\nGeneral Description: This course examines the macroeconomic challenges of financing energy transitions in Latin American economies. Drawing on expertise in emerging market vulnerabilities and financial globalization\, Prof. Fritz analyzes how external debt dynamics\, capital flows\, and financial integration affect Latin American countries’ capacity to fund sustainable energy infrastructure. The course will explore the intersection of climate policy and macroeconomic stability\, focusing on the unique constraints and opportunities facing the region in achieving energy transition goals while managing external vulnerabilities.\nObjective: Course participants will understand the relationship between capital flows\, exchange rate pressures\, monetary policy and fiscal policy spaces\, and climate finance in emerging markets\, while evaluating policy frameworks and financing mechanisms specific to Latin America’s energy transition challenges and assessing the trade-offs between climate investments and external balance considerations in the region\n\nPart One – B: Hands-on Workshop \n\nGeneral Description: This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the analysis of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data for studying green transitions\, climate change\, and sustainable development in developing countries\, with applications focused on Latin America. The session provides foundational understanding of spatial statistical and econometric methods\, covering the intuition behind spatial data analysis and its relevance for climate and energy transition research. Participants will gain practical experience implementing these tools using R\, working with real spatial datasets to explore questions related to renewable energy deployment\, environmental impacts\, and regional development patterns in Latin American contexts.\nObjective: This workshop aims to equip participants with the theoretical foundations and practical skills needed to analyze spatial data for climate and green transition research in developing countries. Participants will develop intuition for spatial statistical and econometric methods\, learn to implement GIS data analysis techniques using R\, and apply these tools to real-world questions related to renewable energy\, environmental change\, and regional development patterns in Latin America\, thereby building capacity to incorporate spatial analysis into their own research on climate economics and sustainable development\n\n\nLatin American development: Seeds of a critical economic tradition\nPart One – A.1: Theoretical Course \n\nGeneral Description: This course offers a concise and general overview of the Latin American economy from the First Globalization to the present. The analysis is structured into four periods: from 1875 to 1945\, when a liberal economic structure based on primary exports was adopted to promote growth; from 1945 to 1982\, when the import substitution industrialization model proposed by ECLAC modified the role of the government as an active economic player; from 1982 to 2003\, when the neoliberal reforms reoriented economic policy toward a market-driven model; and from 2003 to the present\, when the Chinese economy gained prominence and transformed international trade relations. Finally\, the course concludes with a critical reflection on the social\, economic\, political and environmental challenges that the region currently faces.\nObjective: The course provides an analysis of Latin America’s economic history from 1875 to the present to understand the major transformations the region has experienced\, particularly how the economic policies implemented have shaped its growth and development.\n\nPart One – A.2: Theoretical Course \n\nGeneral Description: This short course explores the foundations\, critiques\, and contemporary relevance of Latin American structuralist thought. Through a historical and analytical approach\, it examines the structuralist critique of orthodox economics and its enduring impact on development theory. Special attention will be given to discussions on ecological macroeconomics in Latin America and the convergence between Post-Keynesian heterodoxy and structuralism as a basis for renewed agendas aimed at sustainable and inclusive development.\nObjective: his course aims to examine the main theses and critiques of Latin American structuralist thought through a historical overview of economic thinking in the region. It will explore its influence across various subdisciplines and its role as a critical alternative to orthodox economics. Finally\, the course will address contemporary research agendas that emerge from the dialogue between Latin American structuralism and heterodox schools of thought\, particularly Post-Keynesian economics\n\nPart One – B: Hands-on Workshop \n\nGeneral Description:  In this session\, students will understand the logic of dynamical systems as a set of differential equations\, gaining both theoretical insight and practical modeling skills. They will also know how to obtain numerical simulations of dynamical systems in R and be able to represent the results according to academic standards of transparency and replicability\, ensuring the clarity and reliability of their computational work.\nObjective: The main objectives of this course include developing the ability to manage a wide range of R packages specifically designed for the study of dynamical systems\, such as de Solve\, Phase R\, and FME\, enabling them to carry out robust and reproducible analyses for academic research\n\n  \nConference\nWe invite participants to present their current investigations. Main topics: \n\nFiscal sustainability and the Green Transition\nInternational Financial Architecture and Access to Green finance\nThe role of public and multilateral finance in supporting a just transition.\nTrade\, Technological Dependency\, and the Reconfiguration of Global Value Chains\nImpacts of decarbonization on export structures reliant on natural resources.\nIndustrial policy strategies for a green transformation under external constraint.\nDemand-led Growth and Ecological Transition\nJust Transition\, Employment\, and Inequality\nAssessing the potential of green sectors to absorb informal and precarious labor.\nClimate Change\, Debt\, and Macroeconomic Resilience\nEconomic vulnerability to climate disasters\nPolitical Economy of the Green Transition\nDistributional conflicts and institutional coalitions in Green Transition.\n\nOrganizing Team \nCoordinator: Julia Juarez \nUNITUS: Chiara Grazini – Giulio Guiarini \nLAI: Manuel Santos Silva \nUNAM: Alejandra Arredondo \n  \nYoung Scholar Initiative: \nManuel Valencia (Latin American Research Group);\nSantiago Graña (Economic Development Research Group) \nHelena Morais (Keynesian Research Group) \n

SUMMARY:Beyond Financial Hegemony:  China’s Quest for Domestic Autonomy\,  Creation of Global Dependencies?
DESCRIPTION:China’s expanding global footprint and perceived influence raises questions about its strategic ambitions and the practices and mechanisms through which it reshapes the global financial and economic order. We are moving away from a unipolar\, hegemonic moment towards a new constellation that could be characterized as inter-imperial competition. Beyond U.S. hegemony \, we are increasingly observing the formation of multiple centres of power\, each with its own zone of influence\, as well as growing geopolitical tensions between them. In response to growing geopolitical and economic pressures\, particularly Western efforts to contain the rise of China\, a diverse set of actors from China has sought to enhance autonomy from incumbent powers. Autonomy\, defined as the ability to make independent decisions without relying on external forces\, has been central to the party-state’s strategy since the 2010s. However\, this very effort has also deepened global dependencies on its economy\, finance or technology\, especially among states\, companies\, and platforms. We invite scholars to examine how Chinese political and economic actors navigate this complex relationship between autonomy and dependence amidst a changing global financial and economic order.
