COMPLEX NETWORKS WINTER WORKSHOP 2020

January 3-16, 2021

 

The Complex Networks Winter Workshop (CNWW) is a 2-week international school that offers an extraordinary opportunity for participants to engage in rigorous transdisciplinary complexity science research alongside some of the top researchers in the field of networks. The CNWW is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professionals.

Exceptionnally, the CNWW will be online this year. The lectures will present open problems and recent advances in the field of complex networks. Participants of this program will collaborate in small transdisciplinary research groups involving other participants as well as faculty. All course lectures will be given in English.

 

Applications are open until October 23, 2020.
 

Up to 80 international graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and professionals from different disciplines will be accepted.
