The International Conference on Complex Networks and their Applications brings together an impressive number of researchers from different scientific multi-disciplinary communities that are shaping the field. The conference focuses both on theoretical contributions and on empirical research. Indeed, one of the key goals of this conference is fostering the intersection between theory and practice.

In line with this goal, the conference’s local organising committee will host a satellite event on December 9th, 2019 at NOVA SBE Carcavelos campus from 9h00 to 18h00. This event will include talks and discussion panels by key researchers on how new empirical research and theoretical advances, both in network science and complex systems, are being translated into measurable benefit for society at large.

A growing number of scholars working in various disciplines that rely on Complex Systems and Network/Data Science methods are becoming involved in projects in which measurable positive societal impact is an explicit goal. One example is the Data Science for Social Good Fellowship that started at the University of Chicago in 2013. The goal of this program is to train junior data scientists to work on data mining, machine learning, big data, and data science projects with social impact that is both measurable and accountable.
