CNN is a new forum for academics across different departments in Cambridge who share an interest in Complex Networks.

Complex Networks have attracted much attention since the seminal papers ofWatts & Strogatz (Nature, 1998) and Albert & Barabasi (Science, 1999), which laid the foundation for a rapidly expanding and remarkably interdisciplinary field of study.

While social scientists have studied networks for more than half a century, it is only in the last decade that network data has become ubiquitous in many different fields. International conferences on Complex Networks now bring together researchers from physics, biology, economics, computer science, social sciences and engineering, as well as the arts and humanities.

We hope to establish a community of Cambridge-based scientists interested in networks, with the organization of a regular interdisciplinary seminar series. These seminars are held in Kings College and are followed by informal drinks.

If you are interested in attending these seminars, and in occasional news about relevant international conferences or job offers in the field of Complex Networks, you can join our mailing list via the following website: https://lists.cam.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/ucam-cnn
