Network Science Project
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:40:51
Abstract
Study project involving network data in a selected field.
Objective
Practical experience with, and a contextual understanding of, the links between a research question, domain-specific theory, and computational methods in network science.
Content
Individually or in small groups, students carry out a project in which an original research question is addressed using network data. While network approaches are increasingly common in domains from archaeology and digital media to transportation and zoology, applications are often driven by the availability of (found, observational) data. Special emphasis is therefore placed on the consideration of domain-specific theory and the possibility to adapt data collection and mathematical methods accordingly. Studies may vary by domain of interest and the relative importance of theory, data, methods, implementation issues, and other aspects. In particular, the focus may be on data collection instruments or theory-inspired method development and implementation.
