Ghent Summer of DANS 2022 is a summer school on data and network science organised by the Complex Systems Institute (CSI) at Ghent University.
A team of international lecturers and experts with academic and industrial experience will friendly guide you through fundamental aspects of data and network science with applications on social and economic systems.
The school will have a mix of theory, specialised seminars and computer labs, plus allocated time to develop a (coached) team project to be presented at the end of the school. The summer school will provide introductory lectures and labs in the fundamentals of network and data science, and introductory lectures and labs in specialised topics in game theory, banking and related topics. Data scientists working in start-ups and senior academics will present their own work and share their experiences via research talks, bringing together the different perspectives on applications of network and data science methods. Not least, we are preparing a cool data set for the team project!
The school is not only about data and network science but a full learning experience to develop creativity, teamwork and most of all, to have fun.
Ghent Summer of DANS 2022 is officially recognised as Seasonal School in the Ghent University’s doctoral training programme by the SBS (Social and Behavioural Sciences) & NS (Natural Sciences) doctoral schools. Therefore, participants who comply with the requirements are eligible for 3.0 ECTS. Participants from outside Flemish-speaking universities (Belgium or abroad) will receive an official letter of achievements upon request but the home institution will make a final decision on validation of educational credits.
Background Requirements: The school is open to PhD students and Post-docs with any background but they must feel comfortable with some mathematics (e.g. introductory statistics and probability) and programming (e.g. Python, R, Java, or C/C++). The typical audience includes students from Economics, Finance, Physics, Engineering, Computational Sciences, Applied Mathematics, and related quantitative fields (e.g. applied social sciences, business, ecology, etc...). In case of doubts, contact the organiser.
