V4 CARE ARSEC
COMPUTER AIDED REASONING IN ANALYSING REGIONAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY
With the support of the International Visegrad Fund, GARI launched a new project in May 2018. The V4-CARE-ARSEC project is designed as a regional step to establishing an interdisciplinary research centre that aims to alter the ways we understand regional and global processes and globalization. Throughout the research, we will combine pioneering ways of analysing (big) data on flows, interactions and political & regulatory frameworks. We will work to develop a new analytical foundation, usable in real-world policy-making and business decisions. In the long run, our approach has the potential to enhance our capacities to assess the impact of globalisation on the capabilities of governments and institutions to manage the effects of globalization.
The research will run until late 2020, with five major international public events (Prague, Wroclaw, Budapest, Bratislava and Brno) to take place throughout the duration of the project.
