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.

Behave Summer School on Agent-Based Modelling 2025, 1-12 September 2025, Brescia, Italy (Hybrid)

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. MISS-ABMS promotes a collaborative practice of modelling and simulation, is multi-platform (NetLogo, GAMA and Cormas), presents the different stages of an ABM process, with a focus on model design and implementation, offers a significant time for group work to design and implement an ABM

Steve Railsback and Volker Grimm will present their short course introducing agent-based modeling for scientific applications. Major topics include model design—how to determine what things should be in a model or left out; programming models in the NetLogo platform; and model analysis—how to use a working model to produce theoretical and applied understanding. The course is sponsored by the NetLogo team at Northwestern University.

Join this intensive 1 week course to build your own ABM, analyze your specific case with experts, practice advanced techniques, and plan the next steps for your own fully functional model.

** Extended deadline - 11 Feb - Call for Papers - MABS 2025 - The 26th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation, part of the AAMAS 2025 conference, taking place in Detroit, Michigan, USA, from May 19th to May 23rd, 2025.

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.

This event aims to discuss advances in infant attachment and the mother-infant relationship at the neural and behavioral scales, combining experimental data with computational models from a complex systems approach. Challenges related to this integration will be presented at the end of the event.

The International Symposium on Computational Social Sciences will be held virtually from October 14 to October 18, 2024. This event will bring together scholars, researchers, and professionals from various disciplines to explore the advancements and applications of computational social sciences.
