Institution network104 institutions

Institutions are linked when their members appeared in the same panel, workshop, or event. Node size reflects how many talks each institution took part in. This one stays a map rather than a matrix: the question here is which institutions cluster together, and spatial grouping answers it more directly than a grid of pairs.
