Are you interested in complex networks, multiplex, interdependent networks and the like? This may be a great place to start. For full information on the summer school visit: https://mediterraneanschoolcomplex.net/

The summer school is organized by Manlio De Domenico and Alex Arenas in Salina (Italy, from the 3rd to the 8th of September).

Brief Description of the Summer School:

In the last decade, network theory has been revealed to be a perfect instrument to model the structure of complex systems and the dynamical process they are involved into. The wide variety of applications to social sciences, technological networks, biology, transportation and economic, to cite just only some of them, showed that network theory is suitable to provide new insights into many problems. Given the success of the First Edition in 2014 of the Mediterranean School of Complex Networks, we call for applications to the Second Edition in 2015.

The goal of this school is twofold:

* Provide a theoretical background to students (Master, PhD) and young researchers in the field, with particular attention to current trends in Network Science;

* Promote philosophical and scientific exchange between all participants, i.e., lecturers and attendants.

For this reason, the program will involve lectures from experts in different fields (social science, game theory, human mobility, neuroscience, etc) for 70% of the duration of the school. The remaining time will be dedicated to:

* Flash talks given by attendants, followed by debates;

* Thematic round tables involving lecturers and attendants

The School will award two prizes:

* i) to one attendant, for the best flash talk;

* ii) to one lecturer, for the best lecture.

The school will take place in Salina, a small island in the north of Sicily (Italy). Salina, fully covered by green vegetation and surrounded by the sea, represents a suitable small and quiet environment to achieve the purposes of this school. The official language of the School is ENGLISH
