𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗦𝗰𝗶 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 is coming to the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University! We are honored to host a conference that brings together the world’s leading ideas, discoveries, and challenges in network science. @nunetsi.bsky.social @northeasternu.bsky.social @netsciconf.bsky.social

We found a nice way to accurately solve the SIS model. Rather than expanding in space with ever larger moment closures (pairs, triples, ...), we expand in time. No more difficult than pair-approximations yet much more accurate. arxiv.org/abs/2509.11706

✨ Hope your summer was as cool as the news we’re about to drop… We’ve just launched our official IG channel 👉 @complexity72h - follow us for updates! ⏳ Only ~24h left to discover the location of the next edition of Complexity72h — revealed across all our socials and live at CCS 👀 Stay tuned! 🚀

Read what is going on at NETSI. A lot of network science happened during the summer.

Our team had an amazing week at @ic2s2.bsky.social in Norrköping Sweden and we will post pictures of our posters and talks soon - the big news is that we're so excited to host #IC2S2 in Burlington in 2026! youtu.be/p412S4GnPkc

1/8 How do networks of social relationships evolve over time? This evolution is driven by a complex interplay of cognitive, emotional, and social factors. It’s only natural to assume that such complexity would make this dynamics highly unpredictable. But…

@lordgrilo.bsky.social also offered a valuable bird's eye view of the field of higher-order network science as a whole and where TopoNets fits in at NetSci.

Deadline extended by 72h! Wannabe tutors, feel free to reach out with any questions about the format, proposal, or anything else—happy to help

New one out! We look at higher-order novelties: first-time combinations of known elements in empirical sequences of exploration processes. Similar standard discovery rates can diverge at higher (Heaps') orders and a dynamic RW network model can capture these patterns. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@iaciac.bsky.social (Iacopo Iacopini) explains the dynamics of group interactions based on the paper he co-authored with @martonkarsai.bsky.social & @alainbarrat.bsky.social in Nature Communications ➡️ lnkd.in/eHzwkgdQ news.northeastern.edu/2024/12/11/s...

Some decisions are best made quickly and locally. Governance can work better as a higher-order network, not a pyramid around a central state. How should we design these networks? We looked at this with law and complexity scholars and found "effective governance" networks. arxiv.org/abs/2412.03421

Really happy to share that our latest work on "Higher order connectomics of human brain function" is now out in NatComms @naturecomms.bsky.social. One of the most fun projects that I've worked on! Big thanks to the friends involved F Battiston, M Lucas, @lordgrilo.bsky.social, E Amico doi.org/nt34

📢 Complexity72h, Madrid 23–27 Jun '25! What is C72h? A week-long immersive workshop where early-career researchers team up (~6) to tackle a complex systems project —from theory to applications. 💡 Do you want to be a tutor? The call is open, ⏳ deadline 7 Jan '25 complexity72h.com/call-for-tut...

New paper out in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41... With Lorenzo Dall'Amico and @alainbarrat.bsky.social, we define a distance between temporal networks and explore its sensitivity to complex features in empirical temporal network data. @isifoundation.bsky.social

New work with @alainbarrat.bsky.social! How to generate surrogate temporal networks to replace real ones: arxiv.org/abs/2411.05477 Surrogates will have: - no temporal length limit - local dynamics similar to the real one - mesoscale features like clustering and modularity - long-term memory effects

We are hiring a postdoc/researcher at my group (SUNLab) @nunetsi.bsky.social. Interested in working on multidisciplinary problems like segregation, health, or economic growth from the perspective of Social Urban Networks? Contact me if you are interested. Please share it!
