The GESIS Computational Social Science Winter Symposium is a one day event held on Dec 1st 2014 in Cologne, Germany.  The main objective of the event is to explore the manifold challenges and opportunities related to understanding social systems via computational approaches, and via new kinds of data (e.g. online social networks, physical contact sensors, communication traces, online- and offline behavioral data, etc).

The Computational Social Science Winter Symposium will provide an environment for networking and interdisciplinary discussions through three main activities: (i) an exciting program featuring a series of invited talks that will provide different perspectives on current advances and limitations of computational social science. (ii) an open call for contributed posters that will provide opportunities for computational social scientists  to present and discuss their own work and (iii) an evening event at the famous Cologne Christmas markets that will provide plenty of opportunities for further discussions and informal networking.
