We invite abstracts for the 1st INTERACT Interdisciplinary Symposium on Social Network Analysis, co- organized by the Universidad de los Andes and CESA in Bogotá, Colombia, on June 18 and June 19, 2018. This symposium has two objectives: First, to provide researchers that have an interest in social network analysis with methodological training through series of hands-on workshops. These workshops will range from a general introduction to social network analysis to more advanced (stochastic) methods, such as ERGMs, SIENA, and agent-based models. Second, to encourage exchanges between Colombian, Latin American and international network scholars through presentations and discussions in themed research-paper sessions.
Submission Guidelines
Please submit an extended abstract (1200 words or less; may contain tables and pictures) no later than April 1. This is a bilingual symposium (English/Spanish). We encourage submissions and presentations in English but submissions and presentations in Spanish are welcome.
List of Topics
We welcome (and look forward to) submissions from all academic areas that apply social network analysis. Topics may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
- Networks in organizations, markets, and supply chain management
- Networks in politics, public policy, and public health
- Computational and mathematical approaches to networks
- Processes of network dynamics
- Multilevel networks
Invited Speakers
- Martin Kilduff (University College of London)
- Tomás Rodriguez (Universidad de los Andes)
Publication
All conference presenters will have the opportunity to further prepare a manuscript for an issue in the INSNA journal "Connections."
Venue
The conference will be held in the Universidad de los Andes. Universidad de los Andes was founded in 1948, and it was the first private university in Colombia that was independent from political or religious movements or parties. Universidad de los Andes was ranked eighth by the QS University Rankings 2015/2016 in Latin America, and it occupied the 283rd spot globally. Moreover, the Faculty of Management has the prestigious “Triple Crown”, which consists of three accreditations (EQUIS, AMBA, and AACSB); this is only held by 1% of business schools around the world. Additionally, eight undergraduate programs in the Faculty of Engineering have the International ABET accreditation.
