Federico Battiston, currently an Associate Professor in Network Science at the Central European University, has been awarded the prestigious 2025 Erdős-Rényi Prize. The Erdős–Rényi Prize is awarded each year to a selected young scientist (under 40 years old on the day of the nomination deadline) for their research achievements in the area of network science, broadly construed.

Federico has a strong link with the School of Mathematical Sciences, since he did his PhD here at QMUL under the supervision of Prof Vito Latora that has been highly praised in the award acceptance speech for his inspirational role. Congratulations to both Vito and Federico!
