Workshop on human mobility, epidemics and Network phenomena

15 September 2023 – University of Trento

Scope

In our interconnected world, network science has emerged as a powerful framework. Networks, which govern information, goods, and disease flow, are ubiquitous in modern society. Moreover, networks find applications in modeling diverse natural systems, ranging from the intricate workings of proteins to the complexity of the human brain and also lately in computer science with the rise of artificial neural networks.

This small workshop aims to put in contact researchers from the Trento area working on network phenomena and epidemic modeling and facilitate collaborations between them.
