20 years of NetSci
NetSci is the flagship conference of the Network Science Society, and it remains an unparalleled venue for sharing and discussing discoveries, ideas, and emerging challenges in Network Science. The program will span the ways that networks shape our world—from social and information networks, to epidemics and public health, to ecological and environmental systems, to neuroscientific and AI-driven systems.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the conference series, NetSci 2026 will be hosted by Northeastern University’s Network Science Institute. The conference will take place at the Hyatt Regency from June 1-5, 2026. From its long history of community activism and revolution to its thriving academic and tech hubs, Boston embodies a spirit of progress and innovation. We look forward to gathering our community in a city known for its contributions to network science as well as its rich diversity, collaborative spirit, and legacy of tackling global challenges.
