Erdős–Rényi Prize

The Erdős–Rényi Prize of the Network Science Society is named for Paul Erdős and Alfréd Rényi. This international prize is awarded annually in a special ceremony at the International Conference on Network Science to an outstanding early-career researcher in the field of network science.

Past recipients include:

• 2012: Roger Guimera, Rovira i Virgili University, for work on the "analysis of network cartography and community identification".[1][2]
• 2013: Adilson E. Motter, Northwestern University, for work on "synchronization phenomena".[3]"[2]
• 2014: Mason A. Porter, University of Oxford, for research in the "mathematics of networks".[4][2]
• 2015: Chaoming Song, University of Miami, for work including the application of "self-similarity and renormalization group theory" to networks.[5][2]
• 2016: Aaron Clauset, University of Colorado Boulder, for work on the structure of networks.[6][2]
• 2017: Vittoria Colizza, Inserm, for research into "network-based modeling of epidemic processes".[7][2]
• 2018: Danielle Bassett, University of Pennsylvania, for work on the "network architecture of the human brain".[8]
• 2019: Tiago P. Peixoto, Central European University, for his contributions to statistical inference and visualisation of networks.[9]
• 2020: Sonia Kéfi, CNRS, "for foundational and empirically grounded theoretical research that has advanced network science and its applications in ecology, with a focus on multiple types of interactions among species and the implications for global change, opening the path to new ways to study ecosystems"[10]
