Physical Networks: an emerging topic in Network Science
Physical networks aim to understand complex systems subjected to physical constraints, such as volume exclusion or repulsive forces, that shape their topologic and geometric organization. Systems as different as neurons, porous and colloidal networks or disordered metamaterials, to name a few, are all complex systems made of links and nodes that are physical objects that cannot overlap with each other. The interdisciplinar exploration of such a large variety of systems under the unifying framework of network science has just begun.

Closing remarks
Call for contributions
We welcome contributions spanning multiple disciplines (e.g. mathematics, physics, material science, computer science, biophysics, etc). Following the success of our first PhysNet23 Satellite, we aim at creating an interdisciplinary venue focusing on short talks and discussions to focus on key challenges, innovative ideas, applications and recent advances related to on physical networks or related topics.
Registration
There are registration options for the Satellite only or for the full NetSci24 conference. Traveling funds for the Satellite's applicants are available upon reasonable request. Please contact the organizers for more information.
