Workshops

The Stocnet team offers multiple workshops in social network analysis with R. Many of these workshops are taught at least once a year at conferences affiliated with the INSNA, including the Sunbelt conference and the European Conference of Social Networks (EUSN).

Finally, we regularly offer summer and winter schools. Please check this website periodically for announcements about upcoming teaching events. Information will also be shared on the SOCNET mailing list and the RSiena group.

Below, you can find the list of workshops we developed for the various Stocnet R packages and to teach social network analysis in general.
