Studium Generale: Complex Networks
From 20 February to 27 March 2017 Studium Generale of the Leiden University is organising a series of lectures on complex networks under the title ‘Complex Networks: Challenges and Perspectives.’
Speakers are: Prof. Frank den Hollander, Dr. Diego Garlaschelli and Dr. Michael Emmerich.
Networks are the backbone of modern society. Technological developments have created large networks for the transport of people, goods, information, money and energy. For instance, billions of people in the world are connected via the internet.
In this series the speakers will give examples of real-world networks, discuss key questions, describe key models, and explain how networks can be analysed, simulated, controlled and optimised.
