From November 28 to 30, 2023, in Menton Riviera, France, representatives from CounteR Consortium participated in the International Conference on Complex Networks and Their Applications. The conference aims to bring together researchers from various scientific communities working in areas related to complex networks. Two types of contributions were featured: theoretical developments arising from practical problems and case studies where methodologies were applied. Both types are intended to foster interaction between theoreticians and practitioners.
Leading scientist Prof. Gergely Palla from ELTE, played a pivotal role in the International Conference on Complex Networks 2023 by chairing the “Ecological & Earth Science Networks” session. In collaboration with his colleagues Bianka Kovács, Sámuel G. Balogh, and Bendegúz Sulyo, Prof. Palla co-authored three significant scientific papers that documented the research conducted within the CounteR project. These papers formed the basis for the following presentations delivered by ELTE:
- Iterative Spatial Embedding of Networks Uncovers Their Community Structure – Bianka Kovács
- Maximal Modularity of PSO Networks and Its Consequences on Hyperbolic Embedding – Sámuel G. Balogh
- Embedding Networks into Hyperbolic Spaces by Greedy Routing Optimization – Bendegúz Sulyo
Additionally, ELTE’s Team effectively leveraged the conference’s networking opportunities to gather informal feedback on the consortium’s achievements and gain new ideas and inspiration from leading scientists in the field for future research.
