Network science

In June 2023, we hosted a workshop about Network Science.

About the workshop

How can networks at Statistics Netherlands (CBS) help us understand and predict social systems? In this workshop, we provide participants with the conceptual and practical skills necessary to use network science tools to answer social, economic and biological questions.

This workshop introduces concepts and tools in network science. The objective of the course is that participants acquire hands-on knowledge on how to analyze CBS network data. Participants will be able to understand when a network approach is useful, work with networks efficiently, and create network variables.

The course has a hands-on focus, with lectures accompanied by programming practicals (in Python) to apply the knowledge on real networks.
