EUSN conference at ETH Zurich
The ICONIC crew attended during 9 – 12 September, the 4th European Conference on Social Networks (EUSN 2019) Zurich, Switzerland, ETH Zurich. At this international event, the ICONIC crew gave three oral presentations:
Measuring Transnational Social Fields Through Binational Link-Tracing Sampling. Marian-Gabriel Hâncean, Miranda Jessica Lubbers & Jose Luis Molina. At the 4th European Conference on Social Networks (EUSN), ETH Zurich, Zurich. September, 9, 2019.
Flows of Economic Remittances Within Social Transnational Fields. Iulian Oană, Adelina Stoica & Marian-Gabriel Hâncean. At the 4th European Conference on Social Networks (EUSN), ETH Zurich, Zurich. September, 10, 2019.
Exploring The Impact of Homophily On Finding A Job. Bianca Elena Mihăilă & Marian-Gabriel Hâncean. At the 4th European Conference on Social Networks (EUSN), ETH Zurich, Zurich. September, 10, 2019.
In addition, the ICONIC crew attended several professional workshops in order to develop the professional skills for network data analysis. Specifically,
Marian-Gabriel Hâncean attended:
- A three-hour workshop on Relational Event Modeling with eventnet (Instructor: Juergen Lerner, University of Konstantz)
- A three-hour workshop on Studying the Micro-Macro Link with Stochastic Actor-based Models and RSiena (Instructor: Christian Steglich, University of Groningen)
Iulian Oană attendend:
- A three-hour workshop on Relational Event Modeling with eventnet (Instructor: Juergen Lerner, University of Konstantz)
- A three-hour workshop on Goldfish: Estimating Network Event Models (Instructors: Christoph Stadtfeld, Marion Hoffman, Alvaro Uzaheta, ETH Zurich) & Mirko Reul, James Hollway, Graduate Institute Geneva)
Bianca Elena Mihăilă attended:
- A six-hour workshop on Estimating Exponential Random Graph Models in R (Instructor: Michael T. Heaney, University of Glasgow and University of Michigan)
Alexandra Adelina Stoica attended:
- A six-hours workshop on Introduction to Dynamic Social Network Analysis with Stochastic Actor-oriented Models (Instructors: András Vörös, Per Block, Zsófia Boda (ETH Zurich) & Isabel Raabe (University of Zurich)
SoNAR 2019 international workshop
The international workshop Social Network Analysis in Romania – SoNAR 2019 is organized by the Research Group on Graphs and Social Networks (GraphNets – an interdisciplinary research group of the University of Bucharest).
SoNAR 2019 is the third scientific event focused on social network analysis and organized by GraphNets, in Romania. In 2017, GraphNets, in collaboration with the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest and the Max Plank Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG), organized the international workshop on Graphs, networks and digital humanities. In 2018, GraphNets organized the international workshop Analyzing multiple networks from diverse perspectives – the workshops took place in Timișoara and Bucharest.
SoNAR 2019 revolves around the study of large networks (data collection, processing and analysis) and hosts lectures, presentations and a round table on various topics such as, for instance, co-authorship networks, transnational networks, or intra-organizational networks. Additionally, in the context of social network analysis, two important issues are also addressed: the means for data mining and processing as well as the mixture between machine learning and social statistics.
The keynote address at the SoNAR 2019 is given by Jürgen Lerner (University of Konstanz, Germany). Jürgen Lerner is professor of algorithms with specific research interests in the area of social network analysis, open peer-production, networks with positive and negative ties, computational social science and statistical network modelling.
During SoNAR 2019, preliminary results of the iCoNiC research project will be reported. These results will be afterwards explored and discussed under the format of a round table. This input is expected to support policy-makers and university top management, in Romania or EU, in tailoring their public policies’ formulations in the field of science.
The booklet is available here.
SoNAR 2019 is endorsed by the Faculty of Sociology and Social Work (The University of Bucharest), the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (the Social Science Division). The organization of SoNAR 2019 is also supported by the Research Center in Applied Ethics.
SoNAR 2019 is supported by the Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding (UEFISCDI) through the research grant Longitudinal analysis of coauthorship networks and citations in academia (iCoNiC) – code: PN-III-P1-1.1-TE-2016-0362 (details on https://iconic.unibuc.ro/)
