The International Conference for Computational Social Science 2025

IC2S2 2025, the International Conference for Computational Social Science, is the global flagship event for researchers who use large-scale data and computational methods to understand human social behavior. Now firmly established as the defining gathering for this interdisciplinary field, the conference covers social media analysis, political behavior, economic networks, cultural dynamics, algorithmic fairness, and the ethics of data-intensive social research.

What makes IC2S2 distinctive is its deliberate bridging of computer science and social science: methodological papers on network analysis or NLP sit alongside sociological or political-science studies that deploy those methods to answer substantive questions. Sociologists, political scientists, economists, physicists, and computer scientists all find intellectual community here, as do industry data scientists and policy researchers who need rigorous social-scientific frameworks to interpret the behavioral data they collect.
