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

Intro to Agent Based Modeling classes being planned by University of Milan

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.

The Official European Social Simulation Association Summer School in Social Simulation 2023, an introductory course in agent-based modelling, is taking place the week of 28 August to 1 September in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Interested in learning about the climate system and acquiring computational skills to access, analyze, and visualize climate data? Join Climatematch Academy as a student for our two week virtual program, where you will learn from world-class climate experts and collaborate on team projects with fellow students. Prior experience with climate science is not necessary, however familiarity with a coding language is required.
