SUMMARY:ODISSEI Lunch Lecture: Population Scale Social Network Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Eelke Heemskerk  \n\n\n\nPOPNET is a novel digital infrastructure and research community with the aim of unlocking longitudinal social network data on the entire population of the Netherlands for academic research purposes. It enables new exciting research in an anonymized as well as ethically and legally responsible manner. This research may lead to actionable insights into key issues including segregation\, substantive social change\, and UN sustainable development goals such as reducing inequality.Research infrastructureA first-of-a-kind research infrastructure tailored in terms of hard- and software specifically for large-scale social network analysis will be developed. Rich methods from social network analysis and network science will be implemented to unveil new and previously unknown knowledge about the complexity of the Dutch population. This requires the development of an infrastructure that facilitates this kind of research in terms of computation power\, memory and data management.Social network analysis researchPilot social network analysis studies will be performed on the (anonymized) population-scale social network of the Netherlands\, consisting of 17 million nodes (people) and their hundreds of millions of family\, work\, school and neighbourhood links as well as demographic attributes. The research\, which has a strong computational social science character\, will be done in parallel with the building of the research infrastructure to ensure alignment of the developed platform and researcher needs. \n\n\n\nAbout the ODISSEI Lunch Lecture Series\n\n\n\nThe ODISSEI Lunch Lectures highlight methodological issues and innovations in Social Science.

SUMMARY:POPNET Connects with Lőrincz László
DESCRIPTION:The role of skills in local and global coworker networks\n\n\n\nSocial connections that reach distant places are advantageous for individuals\, firms and cities\, providing access to new skills and knowledge. However\, systematic evidence on how firms build global knowledge access is still lacking. In this paper\, we analyse how global work connections relate to differences in the skill composition of employees within companies and local industry clusters. We gather survey data from 10% of workers in a local industry in Sweden\, and complement this with digital trace data to map co-worker networks and skill composition. This unique combination of data and features allows us to quantify global connections of employees and measure the degree of skill similarity and skill relatedness to co-workers. We find that workers with extensive local networks typically have skills related to those of others in the region and to those of their co-workers. Workers with more global ties typically bring in less related skills to the region. These results provide new insights into the composition of skills within knowledge-intensive firms by connecting the geography of network contacts to the diversity of skills accessible through them. \n\n\n\nAbout  Lőrincz László\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLászló Lőrincz is a Sociologist (Ph.D) at NETI Lab at Corvinus University\, and ANet Lab at Research Centre for Economic and Regional Studies. He joined the Research Centre for Economic and Regional Studies in 2013\, after working in the government\, and in the private sector. He works at Corvinus University since 2016. His research includes adoption and collapse of online social networks\, and network aspects of labor mobility and migration. His work was published in Social Networks\, Journal of Technology Transfer and Applied Network Science.

SUMMARY:ANET Lab Seminar Series: Frank W. Takes
DESCRIPTION:Frank W. Takes (Leiden University & University of Amsterdam): Population-scale Social Network Analysis \n\n\n\nAbstract | Country-wide administrative register data\, as studied within the POPNET project\, enables the discovery of population-scale insights into contemporary social scientific problems such as segregation\, inequality\, loneliness and poverty. This talk considers responsibly anonymized population-scale social network data on all 17 million inhabitants of the Netherlands. We discuss how the formal links in this social network require one to critically rethink network analysis concepts such as the unit of analysis\, measurement errors effects and the boundary specification problem\, but also allows us to in a unique way revisit the well-known small-world phenomenon. The talk furthermore presents initial findings on the relation between the network structure and spatial distribution of the population. \n\n\n\nBio | Frank Takes is head of the Computational Network Science Lab at LIACS\, the computer science department of Leiden University. He is also co-PI of the Population-scale social network Analysis (POPNET) platform\, involving a collaboration between Leiden University\, University of Amsterdam and Statistics Netherlands (CBS). His research deals with understanding the connectivity of our highly connected society\, and is fascinated by how complex network structures cause societies or economies to fail or succeed. He is a steering committee member of the International Conference on Computational Social Science and a board member of the Dutch Network Science Society\, an official chapter of the International Network Science Society.
