Community Events

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.

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

This workshop introduces agent-based modeling, a method for understanding complex social dynamics by simulating interactions among individual agents. Agent-based modeling allows observing social patterns in computer simulations, enabling students to specify rules for agent behavior. The workshop teaches NetLogo for creating models, enabling students to design, analyze, and visualize social dynamics, incorporating empirical data using statistical tools like R or Python.

Jointly organized by the Behave Lab, University of Milan, and the University of Brescia, the 10th edition of this school aims to train students on agent-based modeling by theoretical and practica[…]

Co-located with the 2023 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS), the international workshop on Interdisciplinary Design of Emotion Sensitive Agents (IDEA) se[…]

Computational methods to represent, model and analyze problems using social information have come a long way in the last decade. Computational methods, such as social network analysis, have prov[…]

The MABS workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in MAS engineering and simulation, with researchers focused on understanding and finding efficient solutions to model complex social and socio-technical systems, in areas such as economics, management, organizational and social sciences in general.

Paid 10-week summer research experience for U.S. undergraduates focusing on disinformation detection and analytics at Old Dominion University. US residents must be enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program and will conduct hands-on research with one-on-one faculty mentor supervision.

The BIGSSS-CSS Summer School on social cohesion takes place on July 4 – 15, 2022 at the Department of Sociology of the University of Groningen (Netherlands). (The school was planned for 2020 but […]

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 […]
