Are you devoted to social simulation and agent-based modelling? Do you want to make an impact but find it challenging to thrive in a competitive research environment? If so, this is your chance to make a change.
We invite you to join us in co-creating a place of growth for early-career social simulation researchers and their supporters. During this event, we will initiate the “Emergence Community” and envision the future of social simulation in a backcasting workshop.
Objective:
Our long term goal is to establish a community to foster multi-disciplinary dialogue among members from all around the world. For this, we will promote activities to:
- strengthen the bond between the community members through regular meetings in a friendly environment,
- address “real-life” challenges and outline opportunities to overcome them,
- learn from seasoned researchers about their personal work experiences and ways for growth in research,
- get fit for the job market in and outside of academia.
Outline of the program:
- Introduction and networking
- Backcasting workshop
- Results and outlook
