Call for Satellites

Propose a satellite symposium at NetSci 2027 in Dresden. Deadline: 15 November 2026.

What is a satellite?

Satellites are community-organised, half-day or full-day symposia on a focused topic in network science, held alongside the main conference. They are a chance to bring together a community around an emerging question, method, or application.

How to submit a proposal

Send a single PDF that includes:

  • A descriptive title
  • A short summary of the topic, its aims, and expected outcomes
  • Names, affiliations, and email addresses of all organisers
  • Preferred format (half or full day) and planned structure
  • Preliminary list of confirmed or invited speakers

Email your proposal to satellites.netsci@tu-dresden.de.

Selection criteria

Proposals are evaluated by the Satellite Committee on:

  • Scientific quality and relevance to network science
  • Feasibility of the proposed program
  • Diversity and inclusivity of organizers, speakers, and topics

Organiser responsibilities

Organisers of accepted satellites manage their speakers, finalise their program, handle communication with participants, and follow the conference deadlines.
