Are you fascinated by the example models provided by NetLogo? Wondering how you can decipher complex systems? And now you wonder how to make your own model?

In this advanced course, we dig deep into specific aspects of agent-based modeling that we only briefly touched upon in the beginner’s course. These topics include, for example, model parameterisation, validation, sensitivity analysis and scenarios.

In this course, you will work on a specific modeling project throughout the week. You can choose to bring your own idea to the course or select from a set of suggested projects with varying levels of difficulty. During the course, you will implement a first version of your own agent-based model, learn basic analysis steps and plan your next steps.
