By taking part in this course, you will gain a modelling culture and learn the different skills required for building agent-based models (ABMs) applied to sociological, ecological, or socio-ecological systems.

Key points

MISS-ABMS is multi-cultural in terms of background and nationalities of the trainers and participants
MISS-ABMS promotes a collaborative practice of modelling and simulation
MISS-ABMS is multi-platform: Cormas, Gama and NetLogo
MISS-ABMS presents the different stages of an agent-based modelling process, with a focus on model design and implementation
MISS-ABMS offers a significant time for group work to design and implement an ABM based on proposed descriptions of situations well suited for agent-based modelling
For who

Each year we enjoy having participants with very heterogeneous profiles in terms of age, nationality, scientific background and experience in modelling or coding. Beginners in Agent-Based Modelling who are planning to participate in a modelling project in the months following the training are welcomed.
