The fourth annual Big Team Science Conference will be held virtually via Zoom October 6-8, 2025. The goal of this three-day virtual conference is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of researchers, funders, and stakeholders to discuss advancements, challenges, and future opportunities related to Big Team Science.

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 in October!
