DESCRIPTION
Within this course students learn to address a societal challenge involving group dynamics by means of agent-based social simulation. They learn to identify relevant concepts and relations, formalise these in a dedicated environment (Netlogo), conduct simulations to test different hypothetical scenarios and validate their model with real world data. They do this by working on two individual assignments and one large project in a chosen domain in groups of 2 students. They report their findings both written and verbally.
