To submit an abstract for an oral presentation (15 mins), lightning talk (5 mins), or poster, please prepare a one-page abstract including one optional descriptive figure and caption. You will also be asked to supply keywords for your submission - this will be critical in the review process. The deadline for submission is January 24, with decisions issued by early March.

The EasyChair abstract submission portal will be live December 15, and will be available on the Networks 2021 website.

While space will be limited for talks, we are maximizing all possible options to accommodate speakers. If you are submitting an abstract for a talk, you will be asked if you are willing to consider a poster session. You will also be asked if you plan to attend in person, or remotely (though we recognize this may change).

Decisions will be made by program committee members from both Sunbelt and NetSci communities, with an aim to have a representation of both communities and to create sessions that, whenever possible, bring together scholars from different traditions who are engaging in work on similar themes or methods. You will be asked to share in the submission process whether the primary author has attended a Sunbelt or NetSci meeting before. Decisions will not be made on this basis, but it may inform session creation.
