Archive Informal Meetings on Complex Networks 2018

General Remark

We regularly meet for discussions on complex networks here at the PIK. These meetings are not be like a pure seminar, but more of an informal style, where we present our current work or interesting literature we recently found. Everybody should actively participate and contribute by discussing presented works and by presenting own works or interesting articles.

This seminar series is organized by Jobst Heitzig

Schedule for the Meetings

Most of the time Tuesdays exact 14:00h at A31 Main Cupola (if nothing different announced).
