Complexity
WHEN
June 10-12, 2025
WHERE
Queen Mary University
& Royal Institution
FORMAT
The conference will be structured as a series of plenary presentations and lightning talks.
Welcome to Charting Complexity, an interdisciplinary conference dedicated to exploring the power of Complex Systems Science in understanding and addressing some of the most intricate challenges across scientific disciplines.
This conference brings together leading researchers and innovators working across disciplines to explore how complexity shapes the world around us. From emergent collective behavior to the structure and dynamics of networks, from Computational Social Science to epidemic modelling, this conference brings together researchers whose goal is to understand, predict, and shape the complex world around us.
On the final day of Charting Complexity, we will host a special event celebrating the 60th birthday of Alessandro Vespignani and his contributions to Complex Systems Science.
The event is supported by the British Chapter of the Network Science Society, the ISI Foundation, Northeastern's Network Science Institute, and Queen Mary University.
