The Event (for conference poster download click here )

The International Workshop and Conference on Network Science (NetSci'08) was held on 23-27 June, 2008. Its aim was to bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and teachers in network science (including analysts, modelling experts, visualisation specialists, and others) to foster interdisciplinary communication and collaboration.  The conference focussed on novel directions in networks research within the biological and environmental sciences, computer and information sciences, social sciences, finance and business.

The Workshop part of the event (23-24 June) offered a series of tutorials and lectures, introducing tools and basic results from a variety of research areas of major interest for the study of complex networks. It aimed to present basic experimental and theoretical developments, as well as educate the research community on standard network databases, tools, and computational resources.

The Conference part of the event (25-27 June) was dedicated to talks presenting the latest results in the field and their applications in various disciplines.
