Location
Trinity College Cambridge
Old Combination Room

This is the first academic event of the year, where we welcome back a revitalised cohort across Cambridge working on complex networks.

About this event

In 2011, researchers interested in complexity and networks formed a coalition at the University of Cambridge. Scientists from across departments organized a variety of events and talks to exchange ideas and foster collaborations around these topics. This successful initiative continued for several years, but became difficult to maintain during the pandemic.

This event marks a relaunch of the group, with the aim of reconnecting previous participants and welcoming new ones interested in complex networks. The event is open to everyone, whether it relates directly to your research or is simply an area of curiosity.
