About CompleNet

CompleNet is an annual international conference that unites researchers and practitioners from diverse scientific disciplines who share a deep interest in understanding the structure, dynamics, and applications of complex networks.

Since its founding in 2009 in Catania, Italy, CompleNet has grown into an established interdisciplinary venue fostering exchange across physics, computer science, biology, social science, economics, and engineering — united by the common language of network science.

CompleNet 2027, the 18th edition, will be hosted at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, USA.

Call for Contributions

Submit your work to CompleNet 2027, the 18th Annual Conference on Complex Networks!

You are cordially invited to submit your work to CompleNet 2027, the 18th Annual Conference on Complex Networks, to be held at the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA, on March 9–12, 2027.

CompleNet brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines — from sociology, biology, and physics to computer science — who share a passion for understanding the interdependencies within and across systems. It is a venue to discuss ideas and findings about all types of networks: biological, technological, informational, and social.

Contributions are presented as oral presentations (regular or lightning talks) or posters. All oral presentations take place in a single plenary session — with no parallel tracks — offering heightened exposure and integration across topics and expertise.

Types of Contribution

Authors may submit either a full paper or an extended abstract.

• Papers: Papers must follow the Springer format and not exceed 12 pages (long papers) or 8 pages (short papers). Page limits include all references, figures, tables, and captions. Due to space constraints, some long-paper submissions may ultimately be accepted as short papers.
• Extended Abstracts: Extended abstracts must be one to two pages (US Letter or A4, 1-inch margins, 10-point font, single-spaced) and submitted in PDF. Each abstract must include exactly one figure with a caption; the figure and any references count toward the two-page limit.
