Network Science Institute (NetSI)

Network Science Institute (NetSI) is one of the world’s leading multi-disciplinary research communities supporting innovative research and training in the field of network science. Our mission is to discover and inspire fundamentally new ways to measure, model, predict and visualize meaningful interactions and interconnectivity of social, biological, physical and technological systems; explore their universality and predictability; and inform intervention strategies to improve health and security of human populations.
The Institute is a multi-disciplinary community that brings together researchers and doctoral students who are joined by a common goal to understand the behaviors of complex systems. With sites in Boston, London and Portland, ME we work to discover and leverage ‘intelligence’ of networks that exists in both our natural and designed worlds. The Institute has the only PhD program in Network Science in the U.S., and a new Master’s Program in Complex Network Analysis, providing foundational training in network-based approaches, languages, and problems.
This fund will support our advanced research and education initiatives while we continue to build and inspire a global community dedicated to fundamentally changing the way society understands and interacts with our networked world.
