 anagement of Technology\, in collaboration with IC\, is launching a new EP
 FL Seminar series on “Computational Social Sciences & Economics.” The 
 seminar will bring in leading guest speakers to examine questions that are
  of great importance for EPFL and society more broadly.\n \nOur first hig
 h-level guest speaker will be Prof. James A. Evans\, from the University o
 f Chicago. His research on the Science of Science provides insights into t
 he conditions that drive creativity and the genesis of scientific breakthr
 oughs.  Ultimately\, these insights help to develop tools and policies wi
 th the potential to accelerate discoveries and advance science.\n \nHis r
 esearch\, published in Science and Nature\, has analyzed more than 110 mil
 lion articles\, patents\, and software packages from 1954 to 2016\, and ex
 amined questions related to collaboration\, team composition\, and scienti
 fic impact factor. His results shed light on how to balance the demands of
  multi-expert teams with goals of fostering innovative\, breakthrough resu
 lts.\n \nProfessor Evans’ research is of major interest for all researc
 hers across EPFL seeking to have greater scientific impact and meaningful 
 results.  We warmly encourage you to come to the opening talk for the sem
