Can you explain a network science idea in 2–3 minutes? Enter the Network Science Society’s Communication Video Competition for a chance to have your video screened at NetSci 2027 in Dresden.
Goal: We want to help network scientists share their ideas with broader audiences and give more people a chance to see what network science can reveal about the world around them. Through this competition, we’ll build a collection of short videos, each giving viewers one idea they can use to notice something new in everyday life, nature, or technology.
Guidelines: Videos should be entertaining, informative, and tailored to an educated non-professional viewer, who takes an interest in science. To participate please prepare a 2-3 minute video clip on a network concept of your choice. Feel free to choose topics that are close to your own research or that you are personally passionate about. But keep in mind – this is aimed for a broad audience.
Awards and dissemination: Awards will be presented to the top-ranked submissions ($500 for 1st place, $300 for 2nd, and $200 for 3rd). The best clips will be promoted by the Network Science Society on social media.
Get help preparing your video in the upcoming NSS Skills Series: Communicating Network Science through Video and Beyond on November 18, 2026.
Submit your video by January 15, 2027.
