Erdös-Rényi Prize in Network Science

The Erdős–Rényi Prize is awarded by the Network Science Society at the yearly flagship NetSci Conference to a selected young scientist (under 40 years old on the day of the nomination deadline) for their achievements in research activities in the area of network science, broadly construed. While the achievements can be both theoretical and experimental, the prize is aimed at emphasizing outstanding contributions relevant to the interdisciplinary progress of network science. The Prize is named for the mathematicians Paul Erdős and Alfréd Rényi, whose seminal contributions to the study of random graphs represent foundational work in the modern field of network science.

Recipients are awarded the prize at a special ceremony during the annual NetSci International Conference on Network Science. The prize is presented by the chair of the prize committee and the president of the Network Science Society, who present an official citation for the basis of the award. Awardees receive a commemorative plaque noting their award, a small cash prize, and are invited to give a prize lecture at the conference.
