COMPLEX NETWORKS 2026 – 15th International Conference on Complex Networks and Their Applications
International conference on network science, graph learning, complex systems, and computational social science. December 2–4, 2026, Granada, Spain (tutorials on December 1). Submission deadline: September 2, 2026.
Winter Workshop on Complex Systems - Application process OPEN!
The Winter Workshop on Complex Systems (WWCS) is more than just an opportunity to collaborate on research projects — it’s also a chance to meet people from diverse backgrounds and disciplines who share a common interest in complexity science, all within a friendly and collaborative environment. The workshop is designed as a week-long gathering that brings together young researchers from around the world, with diverse academic profiles, united by their curiosity for complexity science and their drive to work on novel, interdisciplinary projects.

Past events
Complexity, Asian Medicine, and the Intelligence of Healing - a CCS26 Co-located Symposium
The world is a complex system that we can study through many living examples. We have an epitome in Asian Medicines to ground a starting place for discussion to discover patterns generalizable to other systems levels of measurement.
Complex Systems and Contemplative Studies @ CCS26
*How should complexity science handle the fact that the observer is part of the system?* Heinz von Foerster called this second-order cybernetics - the study of observing systems, rather than observed ones - and fifty years on it is still mostly an open question. Contemplative traditions have worked on it for much longer, with first-person methods of their own. This satellite asks what each can do for the other.
Infrastructure of the Economic System - A Complexity Lens
When economics is interpreted as a complex living-system, there are layers and patterns that are revealed. If we wish to have an economic system that works for all, a paradigm shift toward living-systems is essential. SFIL uses several techniques to reveal insights into the economy as a complex living-system. Date: Oct 15, 2026 Start Time: 0600 PT / 0900 ET / 1500 CET Format: 3 hours, online
Complex R.O.M.E. Workshop
We are excited to announce the 2026 edition of the Complex R.O.M.E. Workshop, focused on historical processes as complex systems, bringing together contributions from network science, computational methods, and quantitative modeling.
Social Simulation Conference 2026
The annual Social Simulation Conference (SSC 2026) hosted on behalf of the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA) is being held at Durham University (United Kingdom) on 24 to 28 August 2026. This year's theme is "Embracing the Social in Computational Social Science". The conference includes workshops (Monday) as well as a full programme of keynote speakers, research presentations, and networking events (Tuesday to Friday). See the website for up to date information about registration, accommodation, travel, and other practical details. It will be updated with the programme and other academic details as they are finalised.
NetLogo Conference 2026
The NetLogo Center is excited to announce the inaugural NetLogo Conference this summer in Chicago! Join researchers, educators, artists, and business professionals sharing how they use agent-based modeling in their work. The conference will include research presentations, educational presentations, networking events, and educational workshops (e.g., NetLogo + GIS, ABM + AI, designing curricula with NetLogo). Abstract/proposal submissions are now open.
