NetSci is the flagship conference of the Network Science Society and the premier venue for sharing and discussing discoveries, ideas, and emerging challenges in network science, from social and information networks to epidemics and public health, ecological and biological systems, the brain, infrastructure, and AI-driven systems.

NetSci 2027 is about breaking the current boundaries of network science. We invite work that is forward-looking and willing to take risks, that connects network science to new problems and disciplines, and we put young researchers at the centre of the program.

NetSci 2027 is hosted by the Center Synergy of Systems (SynoSys) at TU Dresden and takes place in Dresden, Germany, from 17 to 21 May 2027: satellites and the school on 17–18 May, followed by the main conference from 18 to 21 May.

Abstract Submission deadline 1 Dec 2026

The fields of artificial life, collective intelligence, and evolution, span a wide range of scientific disciplines, yet, they share foundational ideas from complexity science such as self-organisation, network approaches, agentic perspectives, and bio-inspired paradigms of intelligence. The goal of the workshop is to move away from the traditional keynotes format, and instead create a stimulating environment to explore research ideas through discussion groups and projects with the goal of spawning new collaborations.

The workshop is open to researchers from PhDs and postdocs to senior researchers.

Registration is now open until September 30th: http://aliceworkshop.org

Health is complex. However, such complexity is not a problem to be solved but the very thing we must learn to see. Multimorbidity, mental health, chronic disease, inequality, the resilience of entire health systems: none of these can be understood through linear models alone. They emerge from the interplay of biological, behavioural, social, and environmental processes that unfold across scales and feed back on one another in ways no single discipline can capture on its own.

The inaugural Health Complexity Conference invites researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and data scientists to engage with this complexity rather than to reduce it away. Across public health, epidemiology, clinical practice, mental health, the health professions, and the social sciences, a shared language is taking shape — one drawn from complexity science with its attention to emergence, non-linearity, feedback, and the dynamics of interconnected systems. These communities rarely meet but this conference aims to bring them into the same room.

The day is built for exchange. Two keynote lectures will set the intellectual agenda; four parallel workshop streams will move from the concepts and methods of complexity to its lived realities. The aim throughout is not to simplify but to think together about complexity.

​Hosted by the Copenhagen Health Complexity Center at the University of Copenhagen, the  ultimate goal of this conference is to foster a lively, collaborative community and international network in health complexity science. We invite you to join us to help shape the emergence of this field.

Complex R.O.M.E. 2026 is an online free workshop that aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines interested in researching at the intersection of history with complexity science, network science, computational social science, mathematical modelling, and artificial intelligence. Complex R.O.M.E. welcomes both completed and preliminary research, as well as methodological contributions, new datasets, and position presentations.
Senior and junior researchers are equally encouraged to participate, with the goal of fostering interdisciplinary discussion, collaboration, and new approaches to understanding the dynamics of historical societies.
The 2026 edition will take place fully online on September 30–October 1, 2026, and participation is free. This year’s keynote speakers will be
• Peter Turchin (CSH, University of Oxford, University of Connecticut)
• Débora Zurro Hernández (IMF-CSIC)
