Applied Network Analysis: From Idea to Project Implementation: 16th ANR-Lab Summer School 2025

The summer school will present several cases of implementing the SNA methodology in the following areas:

• Bibliometric network analysis
• Organizational network research
• Social media research
• Labor market research.

The summer school includes both lectures and practical seminars that cover the specifics of collecting and analyzing network data. At the end of the training, participants defend a Research Proposal describing a research idea that can be implemented using the network analysis methodology. Participants will be able to continue their immersion in research at the subsequent advanced training course, which is planned by ANR-Lab for autumn 2025.

The main goal of the summer school: to introduce participants to the methodology of network analysis (social network analysis, SNA), including the basics of collecting, processing, analyzing and visualizing network data, and to form an idea of ​​research and applied projects that can be implemented with its help to solve various problems.

The main objectives of the summer school:

1. To introduce participants to the methodology of network analysis.

1. To teach participants the basics of collecting, processing, analyzing and visualizing network data.
2. To present projects implemented using network analysis in several areas of knowledge to solve various problems - studying groups and teams, scientific fields and collaborations, social media and the labor market.

1. To teach participants to form detailed descriptions of plans for research or applied projects (Research Proposals), which can be implemented using the methodology of network analysis.
