The Socioeconomic Networks and Network Science Workshop 2022 is a two-day educational workshop born from the collaboration of Waseda University’s Center for Multiscale Analysis, Modelling and Simulation and the Center for Positive/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy. The workshop will be held online on August 1–2.
Starting in 2020, the annual event has had an interesting history:
2020 – Socioeconomic Networks and Network Science Workshop
- Hosted by the Center for Multiscale Analysis, Modelling and Simulation and was switched to an online format due to Covid-19. Presentations covered a wide array of topics, including but not limited to “Leveraging academic networks to understand scientific impact”, “Historical comparison of gender inequality in scientific careers across countries and disciplines”, and “Predicting collective success from individual behavior”.
2021 – Science of Innovation and Success Workshop
- The first collaborative installment, hosted by both the Center for Multiscale Analysis, Modelling and Simulation and the Center for Positive/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy, and held in a hybrid online/in-person format. Topics discussed included “Detecting anomalous citation groups in journal networks”, “Industrial Policy and Innovation—— How does Made in China 2025 promote firms’ innovation”, and “Portfolio diversification strategies of startups and investors and their interactions”.
And now, 2022 continues the tradition of a co-hosted event between the two Centers with this year’s
Socioeconomic Networks and Network Science Workshop 2022
Networks science provides tools to describe and analyze empirical complex system data including those in social science domains. Societal networks at large that are main targets of network (or related) research include online and offline communication networks, contact networks among humans, networks of firms, banks, and nations, bibliometric networks, as well as laws governing synthesis of those systems such as power laws. Those with social science backgrounds and STEM backgrounds both collect data and analyze such societal networks, sometimes with different methods and often with different goals.
The workshop aims to have a variety of presentations from different perspectives, aiming at cross-fertilizing and discussing research results, future issues, and possible collaborations across disciplines.
- Center for Multiscale Analysis, Modelling and Simulation
“We hope the workshop serves as grounds for participants to discuss the possibilities of collaboration that surpass the boundaries of different research fields, allowing all to learn from each other. We hope this event also stimulates the curiosity of those from backgrounds such as the humanities or social sciences.”
- Center for Positive/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy
“It is our great honor that Waseda University will host this great workshop this year, following the same event last year. This workshop provided us excellent opportunities to examine socioeconomic networks from many different perspectives and will surely do so this year. We hope that many researchers in Waseda University and any other universities will join us.”
