Many real systems can be modeled as networks, where the elements of
the system are nodes and interactions between elements are edges. An
even larger set of systems can be modeled using dynamical processes
on networks, which are in turn affected by the dynamics. Networks
thus represent the backbone of many complex systems, and their
theoretical and computational analysis makes it possible to gain
insights into numerous applications. Networks permeate almost every
conceivable discipline---including sociology, transportation,
economics and finance, biology, and myriad others---and the study of
"network science" has thus become a crucial component of modern
scientific education.
The school "Complex Networks: Theory, Methods, and Applications"
offers a succinct education in network science. It is open to all
aspiring scholars in any area of science or engineering who wish to
study networks of any kind (whether theoretical or applied), and it
is especially addressed to doctoral students and young postdoctoral
scholars. The aim of the school is to deepen into both theoretical
developments and applications in targeted fields.
