ABOUT POPNET
The POPNET project ran from 2020 to 2024. Since 2025, the developed digital infrastructure and research community are now under the umbrella of the Netherlands Platform for Large-scale Analysis of NETworks (PLANET-NL).
Research infrastructure
A first-of-a-kind research infrastructure tailored in terms of hard- and software specifically for large-scale social network analysis will be developed.
Social network analysis research
Pilot social network analysis studies will be performed on the population-scale social network of the Netherlands, in parallel with the building of the research infrastructure.
Community
building
We aim to bring together network analysis researchers and other scientists who assess social complexity.
