Speakers
Claire Lemercier, Research Director CNRS, SciencesPo Paris (France), see also quanthum.hypotheses.org. Claire Lemercier will give the closing plenary keynote, where she will react to the various presentations in an attempt to highlight the contributions of the conference, and assess how far we have come (and how far we still have to go).
Mathieu Jacomy, Assistant Professor at the University of Aalborg in Copenhagen (Denmark), see also reticular.hypotheses.org. After giving a pre-conference workshop, Mathieu Jacomy will open the conference with the first keynote. He will discuss our network visualisation practices and show where they fit into our hermeneutic engagement with our data.
Marten Düring, Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg (Luxembourg), see also martenduering.com. As founder of the Historical Network Research Community, Marten Düring will open Tuesday’s debates by showing how much our field has evolved since its earliest beginnings.
