International Conference on the Science of Science and Innovation

The International Conference on the Science of Science and Innovation (ICSSI 2025) applies the tools of data science, network analysis, natural language processing, and bibliometrics to study science itself as a social and epistemic system. Research questions include how scientific knowledge accumulates and spreads, what predicts breakthrough discoveries, how funding structures shape research agendas, and how collaboration networks influence innovation outcomes.

The conference occupies a unique interdisciplinary space, drawing together information scientists, economists, sociologists of science, science policy researchers, and computational social scientists. Its findings have direct relevance for research funding agencies, university administrators, and policymakers who want evidence-based strategies for fostering innovation. For any researcher interested in understanding the dynamics of knowledge production rather than just producing knowledge, ICSSI is an essential venue.
