Complexity and Sports Satellite
in Palma de Mallorca
Hybrid Modality (Online and Onsite)
Motivation & Purposes
Sports industries' development based on data analytics, modeling, and simulation are rapidly changing and are in a disruptive innovation moment. Professional sports teams commonly have a plethora of data, but do they know how to extract useful information? Or how we can transform data into actionable intelligence? This situation causes sports managers to increasingly suffer from the Data-Rich and Information-Poor Syndrome (DRIPS): when a director has plenty of data from players' performance but does not have a clear roadmap with scientific and technological tools to make data actionable.
Nowadays, in sports, many data platforms exist that collect, share, and leverage data related to the players' performance and actions during a match or season. This data explosion has several difficulties translating data into information and practical knowledge that can lead to better strategic decision-making for different users. Since knowledge generation from sports analytics data requires a scientific perspective, an integrated data science, computational sciences, and complexity science approach is required to face the DRIPS.
In this context, our satellite will focus on integrating different actors and sectors of the sports ecosystem, such as managers, researchers, trainers, entrepreneurs, angel investors, start-up CEOs, students, and academics. Our main goal is to generate relevant interactions between them to study and analyze sports complexity by integrating scientific and social knowledge.
In this edition, we will center on soccer, since in soccer, we find a multitude of complex systems, from the game itself, the competition, the club, and a player to fans.
The central axis and start point of studying soccer will be based on planning strategies to develop new and more creative systems in a competitive context. We argued that from analysis of relevant interactions that we will find in the competition, we could reduce issues and constraints that have been the understanding of the game very complex. This way, the generation of assessment systems with realistic and practical indicators of performance and selection will be analyzed.

Palma de Mallorca is a modern cosmopolitan city with a wealth of things to do, and it welcomes visitors with open arms all year round. Any visit to the city should include a tour of its most important historical buildings and its artistic heritage. Historic Palma de Mallorca boasts patios, outstanding religious architecture, and iconic buildings as well as museums and art galleries. Its artistic and cultural content deserves to be well known and will surprise anyone who has traditionally thought of Palma de Mallorca just as a sun and sand destination.
Palma de Mallorca has an ideal climate thanks to its location, with an average annual temperature of 18 °C. Thanks to its excellent air and sea links it is an easy destination to reach and is connected with Europe's main capitals in an average of two hours. It also boasts a first-class selection of hotels in the very centre. All of these factors allow it to establish itself, all year round, as an ideal option for a city break.
The strategic location of the building is excellent because it is in the center of the city, In the same way, that joins the highways that connect the east and west parts of the Island, just 10 minutes from the Airport.
Palma de Mallorca's excellent air communications with the Spanish Mainland and Europe are one of its greatest attractions, both for tourism and Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events.
Palma Airport connects direct, without stopovers, with over 60 European airports
