The International School and Conference on Network Science, also called NetSci, is an annual conference focusing on networks. It is organized yearly since 2006 by the [http://netscisociety.net/ Network Science Society]. Physicists are especially prominently represented among the participants, though people from other backgrounds attend as well. The study of networks expanded at the end of the twentieth century, with increasing citation of some seminal papers.M. Buchanan, G. Caldarelli, A networked world Physics World 23 22-24 (2010) DOI 10.1088/2058-7058/23/02/35

Following this increase in interest from the scientific community, network science was examined by the National Research Council (NRC), the arm of the US National Academies in charge of offering policy recommendations to the US government. NRC assembled two panels, resulting in recommendations summarized in two NRC Reports,National Research Council. Network Science. Washington, DC, The National Academies Press, 2005.National Research Council. Strategy for an Army Center for Network Science, Technology, and Experimentation. Washington, DC, The National Academies Press, 2007. offering a definition of the field of network science. These reports not only documented the emergence of a new research field, but highlighted the field’s role for science, national competitiveness and security. The NetSci conference series was set up in 2006 to address the need of the new and emerging highly interdisciplinary network science community to meet and exchange ideas. The NetSci conference has been a yearly event since then. In 2015, a shorter regional conference, called NetSci-X, was added.

History

The formal NetSci conference series was preceded by several meetings:
