Workshop on Collective Decisions: Current Trends 

We are pleased to announce the Workshop on Collective Decisions: Current Trends, to be held in Granada on May 3rd to 6th, 2023.

With the organization of the workshop, we pursue the following objectives:

1.  Provide an environment for debate on collective decision issues emphasizing the role of mathematics.

2. Help the cooperation of research groups.

3. Generate discussion that yields an improvement of the scientific quality of the research work of the participants, especially that of young researchers.

The workshop will be structured around some of the following main topics that reveal a series of challenges corresponding to those faced by society and to which the collaboration between researchers in collective decisions and mathematics can provide interesting answers and proposals.

• Approval voting or other methods vs plurality: there has been a recent debate in the US to reconsider their voting system in favor others. 

• Information and social networks in choice: the role of social-interaction networks in determining learning, diffusion, decisions, and resulting behaviors.

• Allocation mechanisms: one of the most significant and recent debates is related to the appropriate distribution of refugees in the EU. More traditional questions refer to organ transplant, school allocation of students, among others. 

• Game theoretic models for current affairs such as climate challenges: unless the international community acts vigorously, climate change may well compromise, in a dramatic and lasting way, the well-being of future generations.
