Накратко на български

Сложните мрежи за комуникации, транспорт и енергетика се анализират чрез математика и компютърни науки, за да се разберат процеси като разпространението на вируси. Това помага за по-доброто управление и оптимизиране на инфраструктурите, които поддържат съвременното общество.

NETCO-PD: 14 experienced researchers in network science for Europe

Networks for communication, transportation, finance and energy form the backbone of modern society. Reliable and efficient network infrastructures are of enormous economic and societal value, and their importance will only increase in the coming years. The complexity of networks and of the processes running on them are increasing rapidly as well, which often leads to unpredictable and uncontrollable behavior. The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 (covid-19), with enormous medical, social and economic consequences, has once more underlined the importance of understanding network structures. The same is true for understanding the impact of polarisation on society, which has far reaching consequences for the stability of social, economic and political networks. Networks have also evolved into rich sources of data. These data are crucial for understanding structural properties and optimizing functional performance of large-scale networks, e.g. in order to enable online adaptation, self-organization and intelligent control. To deal effectively with the uncertainty, variation, unpredictability, size and complexity inherent in complex networks, we must develop radically new ways of thinking. NETWORKS uniquely combines stochastics (to model and understand large-scale networks and to predict network growth and network processes) with algorithmics (to control and optimize networks and network processes in the best possible way). This symbiosis of mathematics and computer science allows NETWORKS to make a decisive contribution to the advancement of network science. There is urgent need for a generation of researchers that can deal with contemporary and emerging networks that are inherently stochastic in nature, and at the same time can design effective and well-understood decision and optimization algorithms. NETWORKS’ research programme is organized around eight research themes (see https://www.thenetworkcenter.nl/Research-themes/Overview/ for an overview). The combination of these themes allows for a broad and comprehensive approach to the challenges posed by complex networks. In addition, NETWORKS' researchers are branching out into other areas, including economic networks and systemic risks, health networks and early detection, and social networks and epidemiology. The main objective of the NETCO – PD programme is to bring together expertise from two different disciplines, namely, mathematics and computer science, by attracting talented young researchers and to train them to perform world-class research in, and at the interface between, these disciplines. NETWORKS attracts these young researchers from outside the Netherlands. The international network provides them with excellent additional opportunities for transnational mobility.

Цел на проекта

Networks for communication, transportation, finance and energy form the backbone of modern society. Reliable and efficient network infrastructures are of enormous economic and social value, and their importance will only increase in the coming years. Highly skilled researchers familiar with networks are therefore urgently needed. They should have a deep understanding of methods to optimize network performance, to control processes running on networks, and to predict how these processes will evolve over time. NETCO-PD will train 14 such researchers at the postdoctoral level, who will gain the necessary scientific knowledge and professional skills for a successful career inside and outside academia. The duration of the program is 60 months. In the first year, two calls will be opened to appoint 14 ERs, for 24 months each. The main objectives of NETCO-PD are: • To provide Europe with 14 future research leaders in the important area of complex networks, where there is great demand for highly skilled researchers. • To bring together expertise from two disciplines, stochastics (a subarea of mathematics) and algorithmics (a subarea of computer science), and to train ERs by performing world-class research in these disciplines and at their interface. This unique interdisciplinary approach is essential for dealing with complex network problems, since the performance of network algorithms is influenced by the highly volatile nature of network processes, and vice versa. • To attract talented and creative junior researchers at the postdoctoral level, offer them attractive working conditions in 2-year contracts, as well as the best possible training and career perspective. • To extend the NETWORKS training program with activities targeted to postdoctoral researchers. This extension fills a gap in the training of young researchers at a crucial stage in their career, and cannot be acquired anywhere else in The Netherlands.
