(EN) A place to discuss, experiment with, and disseminate the use of Agent-Based Models (ABMs) as tools for modeling and investigating complex phenomena.

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.

Happening Oct 21st 2025. Join us and hear from the presidents of four leading international scientific societies in systems science, leaders from the WHO, The Lancet and the World Obesity Federation, as well as leading experts and learners in commonly used systems methods from around the world to share diverse experiences in applying, writing, reviewing and advocating systems approaches in public health.

While it has long been known that people can influence each other’s opinion, models allow us to understand how this micro-level process can lead to consensus, polarization and societal change on the m…

AsiaSim (Asia Simulation Conference), 24th in the series, is an annual international conference organized by the Federation of Asia Simulation Societies (ASIASIM) whose current member societies are Ch…

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.
