The sandpit meeting will be held at the Department of Statistics, University of Oxford, from 9.30am on Thursday 15th March through to 2.00 pm on Friday 16th March 2018. This sandpit meeting will look at network analysis problems posed by the presenters from three industrial partners:

• Dr Alan Whitmore and Dr Jonny Wray from e-therapeutics are interested in finding drugs through a network approach to protein interactions
• Dr Kimmo Soramäki from FNA is interested in network representations of financial markets
• Dr Anders Madsen from Hugin Expert is interested in graphical models

Over the two days we shall discuss in depth problems posed by these researchers. There will be a computer lab available, and participants are encouraged to apply their methods and software to the problems at hand. There will also be an opportunity to present research posters.
