Complex Society Lab (CSL – Laboratory for the study of a Complex Society) is an interdisciplinary and independent research group that approaches the study of society from the perspective of Complex Systems.

For more than 5 years, CSL has focused on the challenge of understanding the social transformations triggered by a series of fundamental mechanisms that guide the evolution of complex adaptive systems, placing special emphasis on understanding the crisis processes that affect societies as a result of both internal and external adaptation pressures.

It is in this context that the CSL is currently developing the Project “Complex Vulnerability Research within an Urban Setting on the Pacific Rim: Proto-Modeling Climate Impact and Social Risk in Santiago, Chile” that seeks to understand, during the next 3 years, the effects and adaptation measures of society to what is perhaps the greatest adaptive pressure that we have faced as humanity: climate change. This project is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR – https://www.nre.navy.mil) and will be developed jointly between CSL and Infinitum Humanitarian Systems (IHS – https://www.ihs-i.com ).
