About the Workshop

Timisoara Workshops on Research Methods are hosted annually in November, covering a wide range of methodologies used in social science research. The workshops are designed to be a forum for productive discussions on substantive research in progress, and to promote and support collaboration among scholars and practitioners, while widening audience to advanced students. The event brings together for two days approximately 20 participants from several academic and industry institutions, and from different countries. The topic of discussion for this edition is applications of network science to social sciences, and the event is targeting contributions from scholars currently working in the workshop's field.

The purpose of the Workshop series is multifolded:

• Provide a forum for young and established researchers and practitioners to present their contributions to the state of the art research and development in network science applications to social and political problems

• Create flows between researchers and industry: on one hand to provide space for entrepreneurs to present their products which use a knowledge base derived from network research, on the other hand to allow businesses an outlook of recent research which can be relevant for developing commercial or public products .

• Give advanced students an opportunity to gather general knowledge on the topics presented and to expose them to both cutting edge research and product development processes.
