LERU Bright Conference 2012

LERU Bright Conference 2012 'Networks!', the LERU Bright Conference 2012, brings together students from Europe's universities to explore the challenges of complex interactions.

Protest movements or genetics, ant colonies or the Internet - the world is networked. Under the title 'Networks!', the LERU Bright Conference 2012 brings together students from Europe's top research universities to explore the challenges of complex interactions. It is founded on the idea that networks have common properties, no matter where they appear – in chemistry just as well as in economics o

r communication. The conference celebrates interdisciplinarity in working groups on fundamental questions in science, society and humanities. They range from the abstract 'are networks better at adapting to change?' to applied policy discussions on net neutrality. In keynotes, speakers from academia, politics, and business introduce big ideas about the networked world. At Bright 2012, students will be introduced to an inspiring frame for thinking about their disciplines and beyond. Please visit our website for more information: www.uva.nl/bright2012
