Outline of the week

The second week of the Strasbourg session takes up the groundwork laid by the first week and introduces a focus on knowledge flows. Within a system of innovation, access to and dissemination of knowledge can be a key to overall performance. In recent years this has been modelled building on approaches and techniques social network analysis. This week includes general lectures on network analysis, as well as more focussed lectures applying ideas of network analysis and knowledge flows in specific situations.
