🚀 NetSciX is coming up, and we’re heading to New Zealand! After a series of successful panels in past years, we’re excited to host another one at ⁠netscix2026, this time with theme:“Beyond Isolation: Getting Connected in Network Science.” 🗓 Feb 17, 2026 | 🕠 5:30–6:30 PM @netscisociety.bsky.social

The interdisciplinary nature of many research topics in network science may create barriers for communication with our other peer researchers in the same institution, due to the difference in e.g. research paradigm, as well as to get funding; [3/4]

We’re excited to announce the line-up for our fall seminar series! We have three awesome speakers who will share their research and perspectives on the craft of science.

All the details can be found on our website, and we hope junior researchers in complex systems and network science will join us each month for a talk and discussion. See you there! netplace.site/scheduled/

We’re excited to announce the line-up for our fall seminar series! We have three awesome speakers who will share their research and perspectives on the craft of science.

If you’ve never been to a NetPlace seminar before, here’s how it works. The speaker gives a 20-25 minute talk about their work, with time for Q+A. Next, it’s time to switch gears.

🎉 Rounding out our panel, please welcome Alec Kirkley @captainkirk1041.bsky.social! Alec is an Assistant Professor at HKU, interested in complex networks and statistical physics. He works on developing new methods, drawing on ideas from information theory, Bayesian inference and machine learning.

🎉 Very happy to announce Maxime Lucas @maximelca.bsky.social as our next panelist! Maxime is an FNRS Postdoc at the Namur Institute for Complex Systems & UCLouvain in Belgium. He is interested in dynamical systems, complex systems, networks, and their applications to life sciences.

🎉 We welcome Andreia Sofia Teixeira @asteixeira.bsky.social, Associate Professor in the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University London, as our first @netsciconf.bsky.social panelist! She bridges network science and machine learning to explore complex systems and collective behavior.

🚀 After a series of successful panels in previous years, NetPlace returns to @netsciconf.bsky.social in Maastricht with: "Science as a craft: Balancing career and skill progression" 🗓️ June 2, 2025 | 1:00–2:00 PM 🔗 Details: netplace.site/event/netsci...

As early-career researchers, we often face the challenge of deciding how to allocate our limited time and energy, whether it is developing new skills, building our networks, or setting a research direction, all under the pressure to publish.
