Big Team Science Conference

2026 Big Team Science Conference; hosted virtually

The goal of the Big Team Science Conference is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of researchers, funders, and stakeholders to discuss advancements, challenges, and future opportunities related to large scientific collaborations. The fifth annual Big Team Science Conference will be held virtually via Zoom, October 6-8, 2026.

We loosely define Big Team Science as collaborations wherein a comparatively large number of researchers pool their intellectual and/or material resources to pursue a common goal. If your work fits under this definition, we want to hear about it! And if you're curious about large collaborative science and want to learn more, join us at our next conference!
