Carlos Rodríguez-Sickert, director of the Center for Research in Social Complexity, presented at the IF Theater about the emergence of meritocracy in a Market Society from an approach that included modeling social behavior along with Network Theory. The marathon celebrated a year gathering scientific topics in a relaxed space for the general public.

“The position in the social network determines the emergence of meritocracy in a talent market. However, we do not live in an economic model of general equilibrium. There are links and intermediaries that have an impact on the social network. In this sense, Technology can be a tool in meritocracy because it contributes more networks and intermediation”, explained the Director of the CICS to about 400 people, according to the organizers.
