Science has emerged as a dominant engine of innovation for modern society. Moreover, its rich published traces allow us to understand, predict and guide its advance and utility like never before. This international conference on the "Science of Science" will involve presentations by scientists, technologists and scholars studying science from a wide range of perspectives, along with panelists of science policy makers and publishers, followed by a coding sprint and competition to develop new tools for massive-scale name disambiguation, field identification, and concept extraction that could propel the field forward.
