NodeXL Events
Our team members regularly present a variety of lectures and training sessions related to NodeXL at universities around the world. We also deliver talks, tutorials and workshops at online research conferences.


In January 2021 we have introduced the NodeXL Academy which offers online events around theoretical and practical insights into social media network research with NodeXL. We offer one-day classes as well as full-week courses such as our Social Media Research Summer and Winter Schools.
In July 2021 we carried out the first NodeXL Academy Summer School. After receiving great feedback from the attendees, we conducted the NodeXL Academy Winter School in January 2022. In the future, we will offer the NodeXL Summer and Winter Schools every year.
