Face-to-face contacts between individuals contribute to shape social networks and play an important role in determining how infectious diseases can spread within a population. Recently, technological advances have made it possible to obtain accurate data on human interactions.This thesis first presents the analysis of contact data collected three years in a row (2011, 2012 and 2013) in a French high school among students of "classes préparatoires" (i.e., studies taking place after high school and preparing for admission to higher education colleges).
