Summer Session 2020

Gain new insights that reframe your thinking, specific tools to advance current projects, and perspectives to set new directions.

Dates: August 3 - 14

Location: MIT, Cambridge, MA

The NECSI Summer School offers two intensive week-long courses on complexity science: modeling and networks, and data analytics. You may register for any of the weeks. If desired, arrangements for credit at a home institution may be made in advance.

Week 1: June 3-7 CX201: Complex Physical, Biological and Social Systems

Week 2: June 9-14 CX202: Complex Systems Modeling and Networks

Group Projects

Group projects are one of the most rewarding parts of the winter and summer courses. Participants split into project teams and put together a publication quality research project using complex systems tools learned during the week. On the final day of each week, groups present their projects. We consistently receive positive feedback about the projects.
