Community Events

The CSSSA defines computational social science broadly as the theory-driven application of computational methods to analyze, model, and simulate social systems. This includes analyzing large-scale social data, exploring mechanisms underlying social dynamics through simulation,
and connecting insights to social science theory.

Join us on Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th of May 2026 whether to hear our inspirational talks, participate in ESSA@Work in progress or interactive workshops on diverse social simulation topics. We look forward to world-wide suggestions and participation on this FREE event.

Call for Participation for the 2025 Computational Social Science Society of the Americas (CSSSA) conference, which will be held in Santa Fe this November. It’s a great little conference—intimate (single track), interdisciplinary, and full of interesting work from people using CSS methods in a wide range of contexts. CSSSA has been running this conference for nearly 20 years and it consistently draws a vibrant, engaged community.

This workshop explores the intersection of Agent-Based Modeling, Complex Networks, and High-Performance Computing for large-scale systems. It includes talks, a panel, posters, and a hands-on course on Vahana.jl. Aimed at researchers and students in complex systems and related fields. Speakers from various universities will present. Free participation with registration; poster abstracts due November 10th.

Annual conference of the Computational Social Science Society of the Americas

The 19th annual Social Simulation Conference (SSC 2024) will take place from 16th to 20th September 2024 at the Cracow University of Economics, Poland. The conference will be hybrid, allowing participation on-site and online possible.

The 17th International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling, & Prediction and Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simulation will be held on September 18-20, 2024. Submissions for paper are due 21st July 2024.

The conference is one of the key activities of the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA) to promote social simulation and computational social science in Europe and elsewhere.

In conjunction with JURIX 2022, the 35th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems, this workshop is envisioned to be complementary to the traditional scope of computati[…]
