We are thrilled to announce the merger of two key organizations supporting early-career researchers in network science: SYNS (Society of Young Network Scientists) and NetPLACE (Networks, PhD Life, and Complexity). Together, we are now NetPlace! SYNS, now NetPlace NetPlace @netplace_semi

Shiny brand new website ✨ We didn’t know we would come this far when we started, but here we are, growing more and more. And a bigger organization needs a better website! It took us a lot of hard work, but we have made it: netplace.site

Special thanks to Marco Grassia for leading the transition to the new website! A lot of effort, great team work! 🔥

The call for our 10th edition is open 🙃! We trained almost 400 young researchers so far 🧑‍🔬 Can you miss one week of network science with leading network scientists in the field? In the beautiful island of Ortigia (Sicily)? Hurry up! Only 60 seats available, deadline 11/02/25

🔥 Hey NetPals! This week, we welcome Francesco Bortolotti, who will discuss modeling social systems in the age of GenAI, covering methods, challenges, and real-world examples 📊🤖. 📅 Mark your calendars: 12th Dec, 5pm UK (notice the time!) 🔗 Zoom: netplace.site

🔥 Hey NetPals! It's time for our usual seminar recap! In the last session, we had the pleasure of discussing chemical automata networks and the challenges of lacking motivation in academia with Amaury J. L. Diaz Complexity Cat 🐱 from Binghamton University.
