Advances in Complex Networks and Their Applications, from COMPLEX NETWORKS 2025

Dear Colleagues,

Since 2012, the International Conference on Complex Networks and Their Applications (COMPLEX NETWORKS) has brought together researchers from different scientific communities working on areas related to network science. The fourteenth edition of this annual event will be held from 9 to 11 December 2025.

Authors of selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their original papers and contributions under the conference topics. They will reflect the latest problems, advances, and diversity within the network science community. New papers that are closely related to the conference themes are also welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• structural network measures;
• community structure;
• link analysis and ranking;
• motif discovery in complex networks;
• network models;
• diffusion and epidemics;
• temporal networks;
• multilayer networks;
• dynamics on/of networks;
• synchronization in networks;
• resilience and robustness of networks;
• controlling networks;
• reputation, influence, and trust;
• mobility;
• networks in finance and economics;
• ecological networks and food webs;
• earth science applications;
• biological networks;
• brain networks;
• urban systems and networks;
• network medicine;
• machine learning and networks
