Belgium Research Network for Network Science
The Belgium Research Network for Network Science is an alliance of
innovative and forward-thinking research teams in Belgium committed to advancing knowledge
across various scientific fields using network science.
The network is dedicated to creating a virtual centre of excellence for network science research in Belgium.
We aim to achieve this by establishing a core group of network researchers who will act as a magnet, attracting talented
scientists and propelling network science forward. Through our focus on research and its practical applications,
the network strives to deliver scientific, societal, and economic benefits to the people of Flanders and the broader Benelux region.
To achieve that, the core group established an online presence with a webpage, and will organise annual scientific meetings
and doctoral summer schools, to facilitate scientific collaborations between partners via research visits and seminars.

The network is sponsored by the Research Foundation Flanders.
