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.

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
