This school is designed to be an accelerator for network scholars. While open to all researchers, the program structure is optimized for Junior Scholars (PhD Candidates, Postdocs, Assistant Professors). Our goal is to take participants who understand the mechanics of Social Network Analysis (SNA) and transform them into scholars capable of publishing rigorous, theoretically grounded network science. The School of Methods is co-organized by the Research Methods Centre, the Exeter Centre for Social Networks of the University of Exeter Business School, and the Social Networks Society, a community of the Academy of Management. The school will take place at the main campus of the University of Exeter in Exeter, UK. Preliminary information on the conference logistics will be provided to everyone who is interested, and more detailed information will be provided to accepted candidates only. As part of the registration process, we require senior academics to pay a registration fee of £250 per person. This contribution directly supports the funding of the event and helps cover organisational costs. Please note that registrations will only be considered valid once the fee has been received.
