The 2026 iEMSs Conference will take place in Dublin, Ireland, bringing together the international environmental modeling and software community. Attendees will enjoy a city known for its academic heritage, vibrant culture, and welcoming atmosphere. Sponsors are invited to support the event and connect with researchers, practitioners, and decision makers. Finalized conference streams and sessions are available online, and organizers look forward to welcoming participants next summer.

This 30-hour course will introduce the principles and practice of agent-based modelling. Participants will learn how to design, implement, and evaluate ABMs that are relevant to their own fields of research and teaching. The course includes introductory instruction in NetLogo, a popular and powerful software platform and programming language specifically for ABMs.

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.

Jointly organised by the University of Milan, and University of Brescia, the Behave school takes place in a hybrid setting in Brescia, Italy, from 31 August to 11 September 2026. It aims to train students in agent-based modelling through a combination of theoretical and practical lectures, daily hands-on sessions, project presentations, and consultations with experts.

Join this interactive live webinar to learn common traps and how to avoid them when working on your own ABM from an early stage.

A 2-week training course to gain a modelling culture and learn the different skills required for building agent-based models (ABM) applied to sociological, ecological or socio-ecological systems, with a focus on participatory modelling.

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…

As technology advances in different sub-domains of computing, data-driven models are becoming increasingly important. The data-dependent world now faces many challenges in terms of data accuracy and d…
