IXXI is a research center located at ENS Lyon. It associates national research institutes (CNRS, INRIA) with local universities to promote research at the crossroads of different disciplines to address contemporary challenges. Networks are at the heart of our interests, from network science to the analysis of the impact of the digital revolution on economy or social organisation. IXXI is structured around a lab with resident teams, the animation of a regional community around emergent projects, as well as master classes.
The École Normale Supérieure de Lyon is an elite French public institution that trains professors, researchers, senior civil servants as well as business and political leaders. Students choose their courses and split their time between training and research in sciences and humanities. Built on the tradition of the ENS de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud, founded in 1880, the ENS de Lyon also focuses on educational research. It is a symbol of French Republican meritocracy and it remains committed today to disseminating knowledge to the widest audience and to promoting equal opportunity.
The ENS de Lyon hosts the conference as well as the IXXI more generaklly and we acknowledge with many thanks the direct support for this conference, thanks to a research grant.
