Taught by Prof. Dr. Petra Ahrweiler (Mainz University; president of ESSA) and Dr. Corinna Elsenbroich (Glasgow University), the course “Policy Modelling” focuses on the substantive problems, theories, and related computational models in a number of core areas of policy modelling. Participants learn to bridge the gap between policy practice and formal models by applying complexity-sensitive computational methods (especially agent-based modelling) using Netlogo and Python.

This online school aims to train students on Agent-Based Models (ABM) in NetLogo by using modelling examples from social science research. The course is ideally addressed to beginners but also mo[…]

Workshop on Agentization (15-17 September 2021)

While many mathematical and statistical models in the social sciences consist of interacting agents, it is often the case that strong assumptions […]

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-ecolo[…]
