It was my pleasure to kick off the AMETHYST satellite! What a great crowd and interactions, what a great venue! Thanks to the organizers in @amethystccs.bsky.social , incl. @diogolpires.bsky.social , for inviting me!

Visit AMETHYST in room 149 at @css-conference.bsky.social, for a full day satellite on Game Theory in Complex Systems in Siena 🇮🇹🇮🇹 There is a great panel of invited speakers and contributed talks you can find here:

The AMETHYST satellite kicked off this morning in Siena, Italy 🇮🇹, with opening remarks by Alberto Antonioni! Katerina Stankova then delivered a great invited talk on the present and future of Game Theory of Evolving Systems, with a focus on cancer treatment applications. Find us in Room 149!

Today I’m presenting my work on the self-organisation of common goods usage at @css-conference.bsky.social! 🇮🇹✨ Find me in Social Systems 3 at 12:45, to hear about the challenges faced by natural and human-made commons and how to solve them (session starts 11.30)!
