Welcome

SSC 2021 is the 16th annual Social Simulation Conference, and will take place from 20th to 24th September 2021 at the Cracow University of Economics, Poland. The conference is one of the key activities of the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA), aimed at promoting social simulation and computational social science in Europe and elsewhere.

This year’s special theme will be “Social Simulation geared towards Post-Pandemic times”, focused not only on questions raised by the current pandemic but also on future challenges related to economic recovery, such as localisation, globalization, inequality, sustainable growth and social changes induced by progressive digitalisation, data availability and artificial intelligence.

Due to pandemic situation the conference will be held online.  Publication of the conference proceedings is planned. The best full papers will be given the opportunity to submit to JASSS for a special SSC2021 issue.
