Educational Video Competition

We are proud to announce NetSci’s upcoming Educational Video Competition. Submit your video clip to be screened at NetSci 2025 and enter a chance to win a prize.

The goal: We seek to create a repository of short video clips on interesting, surprising, useful, or otherwise intriguing concepts in network science, aimed to increase the broad visibility and relevance of the field.

Guidelines: Clips should be entertaining, informative, and tailored to an educated non-professional viewer, who takes an interest in science. To participate please prepare a 2-3 minute video clip on a network concept of your choice. Feel free to choose topics that are close to your own research, or that you are personally passionate about. But keep in mind - this is aimed for a broad audience.

Best clips will be promoted by the Network Science Society on social media and screened at the NetSci 2025 conference
Top ranked submissions will receive an award at the conference.
All submissions will also be accessible at the NetSci website.

Not attending NetSci 2025? You can still participate, gain visibility and get a chance to win the prizes.

Please submit using this form

Call for travel support grants

–CLOSED

The NetSci organising committee is pleased to announce a limited number of travel grants to attend the conference. The goal is to support individuals for whom attendance would cause a financial burden, e.g., from low and middle-income countries, that require financial support for travel and conference costs in order to attend. Conference grants will typically be in the form of a reimbursement, up to a given amount, for economy-class flights, accommodation, visa costs, and/or health insurance. Grants will only be awarded to people with an accepted abstract submission to NetSci.

Applicants must fill out the form here.

Deadline for submissions: 13 March 2025, 23:59 AOE
