Deadline for abstracts (200 words) submission: December 24th 2013 Working language: English The primary goal of the NetGloW conference series is to bring together networks researchers from around the globe. It seeks to unite the efforts of various scientific disciplines in response to the key challenges faced by network studies today, and to exchange local research results – thus allowing an analysis of global processes. It is also crucial for us to support the orientation of junior researchers in the complex landscape of network science, and to encourage applications of network analysis by practitioners. The idea of the event is to discuss the key current issues and problems of linking theoretical and methodological developments in network analysis. Key topics: · Words and Networks · Networks in Science, Technology, and Innovation · Network Perspectives on Knowledge, Communication and Culture · Social Movements and Collective Action as Network Phenomena · Network Analysis of Political and Policy-Making Domains · Big Network Data Free accommodation will be provided to MA and PhD students who submitted the best abstracts. Fee: Participation in the conference is free of charge.
