The Social Network Science in Chile presumably was developed in the early ‘90 and has grown in the last decades on more than 17 universities from around the country. Currently, there is no formal Community of the Social Network Science in Chile or a postgraduate program with an emphasis exclusively on these topics. The aim of CHISOCNET is to fill the gap and create the society during the next decades. In CHISOCNET a Chilean researcher is considered as any researcher who works in a Chilean Institutions (such as University, Research Centre, Research Institute or in any national institution), has Chilean funding from the Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo (ANID), with Chilean nationality or a permanent residence in this country dedicated to investigate in areas related to the Social Network Science. However, any researcher that is interested in participates actively in the development of the Social Network Science in Chile, or Ibero-America is more than welcome to become an international associate member of this group.
