2025 Eductional Video Competition

We are proud to announce the Network Science Society's 2025 Educational Video Competition!

Submit your video clip to be screened at a fall 2025 Network Science Society online event and enter a chance to win a prize.

Goal: We seek to create a repository of short video clips on interesting, surprising, useful, or otherwise intriguing concepts in network science, aimed to increase the broad visibility and relevance of the field.  

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 and showcased during the October 29, 2025 online NetSci Colloquium slot. This session will feature a panel discussion, Careers in Network Science: Finding Your Path, Sharing Your Vision, aimed at early-career researchers and graduate students and highlighting a variety of career trajectories.

Deadline: September 30, 2025
