Mini-Symposium: Random Graphs and Complex Networks
May 25th, 2026
In the summer of 2026, workshop center Eurandom is hosting a special mini-symposium, organized on the occasion of Christian Borgs, Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley, receiving an honorary doctorate at TU/e during the celebrations of its 70th anniversary: TU/e awards an honorary doctorate to Christian Borgs.
The mini-symposium starts on Monday June 22 around 9:30 and ends on Tuesday June 23 around lunch time, with a dinner being held on Monday night. Participation is free of charge, but registration via the online form on this page is required.
The honorary doctorate will be awarded to Prof. Christian Borgs in an official ceremony on Tuesday afternoon, where Remco van der Hofstad, professor of Probability, and Nelly Litvak, professor of Algorithms for Complex Networks, will act as the honorary promotors. This ceremony is part of a broader event during the TU/e Research Day, for which you can separately register: Registration Research Day 23 June.
The organizers are Nelly Litvak and Remco van der Hofstad. The confirmed speakers are:
We are delighted to inform you that the book Random Graphs and Complex Networks Volume Two, written by Remco van der Hofstad, has won the INFORMS Applied Probability Society Best Publication Award, for 'its clarity, as well as for making significant strides to foster interdisciplinary connections between probability theory and a range of applications in […]
We are proud to share that Martijn Gösgens won the Van Zwet Award for his excellent research on community detection in random graphs. We had the pleasure of interviewing Martijn!
Nelly Litvak is a participant of the Probability and Statistics of Discrete Structures (PSDS) program at the Simons-Laufer Mathematical Science Institute (SLMath), Spring 2025. This blog is part 3 in a trilogy of blogs. ‘So, what have you been doing 4 months in Berkeley?’ Accidentally, I bumped into an old friend on the last evening […]
We participated in a three-day science fair in Brussels, called Science is Wonderful!, for which we designed an interactive booth aimed at introducing young people to network science. Here's what we learned!
After more than ten incredible years, the NETWORKS programme will officially conclude at the end of 2025. In light of this approaching milestone, the final NETWORKS conference & reunion took place.
