We are pleased to share the latest edition of the EAAMO Fall 2024 Newsletter, highlighting key updates, events, and initiatives from our community. This semester has been marked by groundbreaking research, impactful collaborations, and continued efforts to bridge equity, access, and computational tools across disciplines.

We invite you to explore the full newsletter and stay engaged with EAAMO’s mission to advance equity through algorithms, mechanisms, and optimization.

Thank you for being part of our growing community!

The EAAMO’s Executive Director Sera Linardi, Augustin Chaintreau, Gabriel Agostini, and Renzhe Yu led the organization of NYC series of meetups that took place on November 7, 2024, December 12, 2024, and January 31, 2025.

These gatherings brought together researchers, practitioners, and advocates to explore interdisciplinary topics at the intersection of equity, access, and computational tools. Featured participants included Matt Franchi, Ian Solano-Kamaiko, and Nikhil Garg, who contributed to vibrant discussions on innovative approaches to tackling societal challenges. The meetups created a collaborative space for exchanging ideas and building partnerships, further strengthening the local EAAMO community in New York City.

Cesar Hidalgo, Toulouse School of Economics, Director Center for Collective Learning, Founder of Datawheel, will have a colloquium talk entitled “Why do people judge humans differently from machines? The role of agency and experience“ on Thursday November 21 at  12.00 ET.

To attend the colloquium talk please register using this link.

Save the date for the 2nd of our LAC Colloquium Series, in which Alejandra Echeverri Ochoa explores the evolution of biodiversity governance in Colombia.

Join us for an eye-opening exploration of how biodiversity has become a critical part of Colombia’s key sectoral policies, helping to address climate change and poverty, hear about how strong coordination across sectors and actors can help achieve lasting environmental impact, and, finally, how the intersection of nature-based and culture-based tourism is unlocking the potential of Colombia’s ecotourism policies, creating a path for both conservation and community development.
