ANN-SONIC-NICO 10th International Workshop on Network Theory

Consumer finance and new technologies: research and practice

Northwestern University is pleased to once again host the ANN SONIC NICO 10th International Workshop on Network Theory on March 12-14, 2020 at the Evanston, IL campus.

This invitation only workshop is convened annually and organized by Annenberg Networks Network (ANN), Science of Networks in Communities (SONIC) research group and Northwestern Institute of Complexity (NICO). This year, the workshop is partially sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The workshop will be a special convening of intellectual discourse while also celebrating a decade’s worth of collaborations. In additional to the traditional presentation of invited talks, the programming will recognize the retirement of two of the faculty ‘founders’ of this convening, Janet Fulk and Peter Monge, who helped spearhead the establishment of this intellectual forum.

The theme for this year is ‘Human AI Social Networks @ Work’ and will focus on topical areas such as human agent/robot teaming, virtual organization, crowd sourcing, social media, networks and more.


March 12-14, 2020


Stay tuned for more information.


This conference is by invitation only.
