The philosophical and economic analysis of evolutionary dynamics and group decision making has recently been propelled by the application of network theory. Networks are a particularly relevant modelling tool where spatial limitations constrain the interactions of agents. This workshop focuses on games played on networks, and draws links to topics in social epistemology and evolutionary game theory.
