The Joint CCSS-UvA Workshop on Computational Social Science and Intelligent Systems aims to bring together researchers from Kobe University and the University of Amsterdam in order to facilitate the exchange of research experiences in computational social science and to explore potential long-term collaborations.
Event details of Joint CCSS-UvA Workshop on Computational Social Science and Intelligent Systems, Amsterdam 2024
Start date
6 March 2024
End date
7 March 2024

This two-day event will feature presentations and discussions on research conducted at both institutions on computational social science methods applied to domains such as understanding human social behaviour, modelling financial systems, managing resources, or governing social-ecological-technological systems. Research and education experiences on a wide range of topics will be covered, all united by the common goal of using computational methods to understand our social world.
