The Dutch Network Science Society (www.netsci.nl), founded in 2018, is the official Dutch chapter of the International Network Science Society (www.netscisociety.net). The society’s mission is to consolidate and support theoretical and applied network analysis research in the Netherlands in the broadest sense. The aim is to do so with both the interdisciplinary academic network science community as well as relevant industry partners and public sector organizations. Activities include scientific seminars and colloquia, open lectures, summer schools, talent awards, Dutch nominations for the International Erdős–Rényi Prize, online dissemination of relevant news, events, job opportunities and other information related to network science.
