NetPlace workshop on Networks & Physics
Join us for a dynamic one-day workshop designed for young researchers eager to explore the intersection of Network Science and Physics. This event blends inspiring keynote talks with an interactive collabathon, where participants will brainstorm, develop, and pitch innovative research ideas in teams.
Whether you come from physics, computer science, biology, social sciences, or any other field, this is a unique opportunity to connect with peers, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and learn how to transform creative ideas into structured research proposals.
No advanced experience required—just bring your curiosity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to collaborate!
If you already have a research idea related to networks and physics, you’ll have the chance to propose it and find collaborators during the workshop.
⭐ What Can You Expect from the Workshop?
💡 Propose Your Project or Find Inspiration
Before the workshop, participants will be invited to submit their own research ideas related to networks and physics. During the event, selected ideas will be presented to spark discussion and collaboration.
🚀 No proposal? No problem! You’ll have the chance to join a team, contribute your skills, and help shape an innovative project.
🤝 Collaborate in a Hands-On Research Sprint
In the afternoon, take part in a collabathon — a fast-paced, team-based session where you’ll:
- Define a clear research objective
- Outline a basic methodology
- Identify potential impact and feasibility
- Highlight any novelty and interdisciplinary value
🎭 Pitch Your Project in an ERC Panel Simulation
Wrap up the day by presenting your project in a friendly, simulated ERC panel. This session will help you:
- Practice presenting research ideas clearly
- Receive constructive feedback from peers
🎯 A fun, low-pressure way to gain insight into research funding and proposal development!
