2010: June - Spatial Simulations for Social Sciences Multi-disciplinary approach of complexity, networks, geosimulations Workshops and Conference
Participating as : Co-organisateur
Contact : C.Rozenblat
9th-11th of June 2010 - Lausanne University
Organized by the Faculty of Geoscience and Environment, Lausanne University
In cooperation with S4 European Research Group (SPANGEO II, INVISA, SIMBAAD)
- Celine Rozenblat (IGUL, SPANGEO II) Celine.rozenblat@unil.ch
- Mikhail Kanevski (IGAR, INVISA) Mikhail.kanevski@unil.ch
Aims of workshops and conference:
Conference and workshops themes are social networks, space, risks and simulations. The goal of this conference is to present the most exciting complex-systems research taking place in the social, economical, biological, and physical arenas to the Geo, Environment and Social sciences communities of Lausanne University.
Theories of complex systems and networks have been developed a lot in the last decade in multi-disciplinary groups (in particular in collaboration with physicists and computer-scientists). Showing these studies in progress, the motivation of the conference is to reach scholars from different disciplines in Lausanne and stimulate multi-disciplinary new projects.

2007: Transdisciplinary Conference « Urban Networks and Network Theory »
This high-level seminar, which will be closed to the public, will bring together around thirty network experts from a wide range of disciplines: communication sciences, information technology, mathematics, economics, regional sciences, urban studies and social network sociology. The seminar is seen like a first step to develop a Worldwide, European and Swiss network on urban networks and network theory. The aim of this network will consist in linking conceptual, methodological and empirical approaches of cities and social networks towards a transdisciplinary network theory.
The seminar will address two issues:
* The transition from a network/networks of actors, individuals, firms or institutions to the coherent development of a city or system of cities
* The potential transfers and links between the various disciplinary and methodologica interpretations of the concept "network"
The seminar shall be divided into four individual sessions, which will deal respectively with multi-scale networks, economic networks, power and strategies, and finally networks of innovation.
The whole seminar is available here.
