Visioneer

Funding: EU FP7

Duration: 2009 - 2010

Description:
Visioneer was a European project aiming to reach a better, quantitative understanding of complex socio-economic systems. The ultimate purpose was to develop the concept of a Social Knowledge Collider, thereby creating optimal conditions to unleash the potential of real multi-disciplinary projects involving social scientist, economists, computer scientists, physicists, biologists, system scientists, and engineers whose complementary special knowledge would collide and create new kinds of concepts, just as particle supercolliders create new kinds of particles.
