Social Physics and Econophysics

A very brief overview on Complex Systems: Social Physics and Econophysics by Luis Rocha. Watch on youtube.



Regular Courses

Our team members are involved in organising and teaching several courses at Ghent University.
Some examples of Master/PhD level courses:

- Complexity and criticality - master of physics and master of engineering physics
- Networks in Socio-economic systems - master of economics, master of business engineering, master of physics, PhD in Economics
- Complexity economics and agent-based modelling - master of economics, master of physics, PhD in Economics

Students from different programmes and universities are welcome to enrol. Contact the respective course leader (or lecturer-in-charge) for details on the content and required skills. For enrolment, check the regulations with the student administration.

Master thesis projects

We announce master thesis projects internally (via Plato) but feel free to get in touch if you want to discuss some ideas related to our research expertise, e.g. complexity, social physics, econophysics, network science, data science, banking, finance, sampling hard-to-reach populations, agent-based models, etc.
