Family, friends, neighbours and classmates - they are all part of our "social network". What would we see if we could look down on everyone's social networks like a bird from above? Would everyone be connected to everyone in some way? On Wednesday, 28 February, Prof. Dr Sebastian Schnettler from the Institute of Social Sciences will explain how and why social networks are analysed. By the end, the eight to twelve-year-old KinderUni students will not only know why rumours, illnesses or ideas spread particularly quickly in social networks, but also how network research helps to understand underground railway or airport networks, for example. You can find the full report here.
