This network exists to bring together researchers and students from across Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê with an interest in network structures and how they affect phenomena across all fields of enquiry.
About us
Networks are found throughout the physical, biological and social world, but are often only seen when actively sought for. Networks are central to a full understanding of how the world is interdependent, and thus how action in one place can affect outcomes elsewhere. While all networks are similar in representing the connections between elements (places, people, websites, proteins), the nature of these connections and the implications of the structures they create vary greatly. The study of networks therefore requires certain core theories and tools which can be applied to many research fields.
This group exists to bring together academics and students from across multiple academic faculties to share their experience of using networks as a lens through which to study their area of enquiry. It aims to share theories and methods for collecting and analysing network data, as well as experiences of how to overcome the difficulties of managing the complexity that viewing the world as a network can bring.
