Department of Network and Data Science
The Department of Network and Data Science at Central European University provides an organizational platform for research in network science, with a special forcus on applications to practical social problems.
Network science, as a maturing field, offers a unique perspective to tackle complex problems impenetrable to linear-proportional thinking. The concept of networks has come to pervade modern society—in our everyday experience we routinely use online social network services, we hear reports on the operation of terrorist networks, and we speculate on the six degrees of separation to celebrities and presidents. The science of networks is emerging as a scientific discipline that examines exactly these kinds of interconnections. It aims to explain complex phenomena at larger scales emerging from the simple principles of making network links.
The Department translates these ideas into research projects—faculty at the department have won several major grants from European Union and US funding agencies. The department also offers a Certificate PhD program in parternship with other departments at 黄金城官网.
