The number of scientists working on networks and complex systems in the Asia-Pacific region is increasing, but high-level conferences in these areas remain limited to NetSci, NetSciX, the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS), and Conference on Complex Systems (CCS). Asia-Pacific scientists, especially postdocs and PhD students in these areas therefore have limited opportunities to attend these conferences. This leads to a lack of exposure of Asia-Pacific scientists to good work done elsewhere in the world, and of scientists from other parts of the world to good work done in Asia-Pacific, and seriously hampers the academic growths of Asia-Pacific scientists. Recently, we have been encouraged by the strong turnout of Indian scientists at all levels at the NetSciX 2025 conference in Indore, India. We can sense that the younger scientists treasured this opportunity to share their work. Unfortunately, it is impossible to bring these flagship conferences to Asia-Pacific every year. At best, we can host one such conference in Asia once every three to four years.

This prompted us to start an Asia-Pacific Conference on Networks and Complex Systems beginning next year (2-5 Jun 2026 in Singapore) to cater to these unmet demands. With this conference, we would always have a platform to present our recent work and meet up with colleagues. While we will always invite the most exciting speakers from all around the world, our goal is to include more invited speakers from Asia-Pacific. We also aim to give as many participants as possible (including PhD students) a chance to give oral presentations. We will rotate this conference series around Asia-Pacific, where most venues are more affordable compared to Europe or North America. Hopefully, more Asian scientists would be able to attend, even if they have limited funding. This is especially true of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, many of whom can only attend the local editions of the conference.

Finally, to ensure that the conference is relevant and high-level, we will be advised by an International Advisory Committee of eminent scientists in the fields of networks and complex systems. Additionally, to ensure that good organizational practices are shared after they are developed, besides local organizers the organizing team for a given year will also comprise core members from the organizing team for the next year.

Since 2001, the Nonlinear Science Working Group has been serving the complexity science community by organizing the Disordered Systems Symposia (DSS), one of the oldest and longest-running international events dedicated to disordered systems, complexity, and nonlinearity. DSS provides a vital platform that brings together leading specialists, early-career researchers, and participants from diverse fields to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and advance research in complexity science.

With DSS-2025, we continue two initiatives introduced to further serve and expand the community. The Murray Gell-Mann Memorial Lectures honor his pioneering contributions to complexity science and his visionary spirit. The WOMPLEXITY initiative promotes the visibility of women in complexity science. These efforts demonstrate our ongoing commitment to supporting diversity, inclusion, and excellence within the complexity science community.

Most of the everyday phenomena we see around us can be categorized as "complex." Such systems consist of many strongly interacting parts and yet, despite this, they exhibit a certain emergent qualitative unity which endows them with a distinct being, separate, although not independent, from that of their constituent elements.
These complex systems thus possess a kind of "simplicity" as well, which makes them intelligible and allows them to be studied in their own right. The sheer diversity of complex phenomena—from magnets to climate to the economy to the human brain—prevents them from being investigated under a single theoretical framework. Still, studies such as those of Lorenz and Mandelbrot in the 1970s began to reveal a surprisingly large number of common motifs across these systems, including transitions to chaos, fractal structures, pattern formation, and more.
The search for common features of complex systems still remains open. However, most efforts today are focused on understanding particular phenomena. The "Belgrade School of Complex Systems," organized by the Faculty of Physics at the University of Belgrade (http://www.ff.bg.ac.rs/Engleski/index_eng.html), is an attempt to bring together experts from around the world working on various fields that fall under the broad category of complex systems in order to encourage the exchange of knowledge and promote collaboration between like-minded researchers that may be working in seemingly disparate fields.
