What is the idea behind the emergence community?

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, the emergence community is for you! We invite you to join us in co-creating a place of growth for early-career social simulation researchers and their supporters.

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.

The co-organizers are:

• Timo Szczepanska (UiT The Arctic University of Norway)
• Federico Andreotti (Wageningen University & Research)
• Leonard Higi (Potsdam University of Applied Sciences)
• Diego Dametto (Potsdam University of Applied Sciences)
• Nikolas Zöller (Jacobs University Bremen)

We are having a backcasting workshop at the social simulation conference 2021 to officially initialize the emergence community. Please register and join us!
