<\/p>\n

The CESAB<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Centre for Biodiversity Synthesis and Analysis \u2013 and the ANR EcoNet<\/strong><\/a> are organizing the third edition of the workshop “Analyzing ecological network data”<\/em><\/strong>. The objective of this five-day course is to train young researchers in analyzing ecological network data. The course covers a general introduction to networks, classical metrics (including modularity, nesteness, clustering), null models, generative models (including SBM), multilayer networks, as well as an overview of newer techniques (such as motifs or collections of networks). Each topic is explored through lectures followed by practicals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The training course, in English,<\/strong> will take place from the 30th of March to the 3rd of April 2026<\/strong> at the CESAB in Montpellier. The price, usually 250\u20ac, has been reduced to 150\u20ac for the week<\/strong> (lunch included) thanks to financial support from the PEPR Maths-Vives<\/strong><\/a>. Travel, accommodation and evening meals are at the expense of the participants.<\/p>\n

The FRB offers 7 scholarships of 150\u20ac each<\/strong>, which will cover the full registration fees. These scholarships are intended to support individuals who do not receive any institutional support (e.g., funding from their laboratory, research team, etc.) and who are unable to cover the registration fees with their own funds. We fully trust each applicant to assess their situation and apply for a scholarship only if necessary. The selection of participants will be carried out independently of the scholarship applications. Once this selection is made, the scholarships will be awarded by a random draw among the selected participants who have expressed a need for financial assistance (4 scholarships).\u00a0<\/p>\n
