Ortigia Island (Syracuse), Italy 30 June - 5 July 2025
DOWNLOAD POSTER DOWNLOAD VADEMECUMIn the last decade, network theory has been revealed to be a perfect instrument to model the structure of complex systems and the dynamical process they are involved into. The wide variety of applications to social sciences, technological networks, biology, transportation and economic, to cite just only some of them, showed that network theory is suitable to provide new insights into many problems.
Given the success of the Ninth Edition in 2024 of the Mediterranean School of Complex Networks, we call for applications to the Tenth Edition in 2025.
The official language of the School is ENGLISH
The School will award two prizes: to one attendant, for the best flash talk and to one lecturer, for the best lecture.
