In compliance with the regulation currently in force, the school will be open to
- 45 students onsite. Registration fee: 500 euro (VAT 22% included). The fee covers: all lectures; course material; wi-fi connections; lunches and coffee breaks; social dinner. The fee does NOT cover accommodation and travel.

- educational background
- research activity and interests
- motivations for participating in the school
Please note that any page after the first one will be automatically deleted.
PREREQUISITES: Basic notions and metrics on complex networks are required to be able to follow the entire course.
SELECTION CRITERIA: In addition to applicant quality, the Organizing Committee will consider a number of features including: the coherence of the motivation with the aim and scope of the school, the potential benefit for the student’s research, the timeliness for the development of the student’s career. Preference will be given to applicants not participating onsite in the previous edition (2022) of the school.
The school is especially addressed to doctoral students and young postdoctoral scholars. A very limited number of senior students (e.g., assistant/associate/full professors) can be admitted, if they provide strong and convincing motivation in their application letter.
