COOLNET: COoperation in Large-scale NETworks
The COOLNET project aims at tackling the core source of all environmental issues: the lack of cooperation at large scales: people act to favor themselves and not their group! We will address this by:
- looking for theoretical hypotheses on mechanisms that promote cooperative behavior at large scales, and set them in a common formalism
- designing a massively multiplayer game to be used as a laboratory on large-scale collective human behavior, which will allow to prove or disprove the above hypotheses
This is a 5-year project started in Summer 2025, funded by the Lopez-Loreta Foundation. We will soon have a hybrid team between academics and game professionals, within SOHAM (Centre for the Sociology of Humans and Machines) at TU Dublin and Trinity College Dublin.
