Submit your abstract
Abstracts are submitted through EasyChair. Please read the submission guidelines below before uploading your PDF.
How to submit
Submission guidelines
Format
Submissions take the form of a two-page extended abstract:
- Page 1. Title, authors and affiliations, keywords, and the abstract body.
- Page 2. Figures, tables, and references only. No additional body text is permitted on page 2, and no additional pages are permitted.
Submissions must be prepared using the official LaTeX or Microsoft Word template and submitted as a single PDF.
Both completed work and ongoing research with preliminary results are welcome.
Page layout
- Paper size. A4 (Letter is also accepted; do not mix sizes within the same submission).
- Margins. 20 mm on all sides.
- Font. Sans-serif (Arial or equivalent), 10 pt body text.
- Running heads. No page numbers, headers, or footers.
- Figures and tables. Must fit within the page-2 margins; do not use landscape orientation.
Use of AI writing tools
The use of large language models is permitted for editorial support only (wording, grammar, formatting). LLMs should not be used for autonomous content generation or to fabricate results, figures, or citations. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy and originality of their submission and must confirm that any AI-assisted edits reflect their own original work and intent.
This policy governs how the abstract is written. Submissions whose research subject is AI (e.g. studies of LLMs, graph neural networks, generative models) are of course welcome under the “Network Science meets AI” track — the restriction applies only to using AI tools to draft the submission itself.
Presentation format
By default, accepted submissions will be considered for an oral or poster presentation. The programme committee will make the final decision on presentation format based on fit, scientific quality, and programme balance.
Submission system
Submissions are made via EasyChair. You will receive an automated confirmation email with a submission ID upon successful upload.
Attendance requirement
At least one author of each accepted submission is expected to register for the main conference.

Call for Themed Workshop Proposals
NetSciX 2027 invites proposals for interactive, themed workshops for community building, sharing perspectives, training, and generating ideas on specific and emerging topics in network science. We recommend a duration of no more than 3 hours.
Workshop formats
We welcome proposals in a range of workshop formats that get people engaging with each other across the network science community. Workshops may focus on skill development, knowledge exchange, collaborative problem solving, community building, or creating shared research resources. Organizers should choose the format that best fits their goals. Successful proposals should clearly describe what participants will do, how much they are expected to participate, and what the workshop aims to achieve. Example formats include:
- Hands-on Tutorials, which teach a network analysis method from start to finish. They go from a research question and raw data, through modeling and inference, to interpreting the results, so that participants can apply the method to their own data.
- Symposia, with position papers, invited talks and moderated discussion on a focused research area.
- Guided Exploration Workshops, which use structured activities to examine emerging questions, build shared understanding, or identify future research directions.
- Collaborative Working Groups, where participants work together to produce community resources such as white papers, benchmark datasets, evaluation protocols, software, or research roadmaps.
- Innovation Labs or Design Jams, which support collaborative ideation and rapid prototyping of new concepts, methods or tools.
- Other creative and interactive formats that clearly state their objectives, what participants will experience, and the expected outcomes.
Proposal requirements
A workshop proposal is at most three pages and covers:
- Title, organizers (with affiliations and short bios) and a contact person
- Abstract (max 250 words)
- Objectives and expected outcomes
- Planned activities and a timed session outline, including the expected level of participant involvement
- Target audience, and any prerequisites or technical requirements
- Plans for recruiting participants and sharing outcomes (e.g. website, open materials, follow-ups)
Proposal submission
Please email your proposal to netscix2027conf@gmail.com.
Funding
Travel support
NetSciX 2027 is committed to providing travel support, subject to funding availability, to students and early-career researchers. To be eligible, at least one abstract needs to be submitted for consideration.
To apply, send an email to netscix2027conf@gmail.com with subject line “Travel support application”, containing:
- Academic status (PhD student, postdoc, etc.)
- EasyChair Submission ID
- Short paragraph (at most 200 words) indicating why you wish to attend the conference, and why you need travel support.
- CV (PDF, optional)
You do not need to wait for the acceptance notification to apply.
Travel support decisions will be made on a rolling basis and communicated starting November 15, 2026.
