GRADUATE WORKSHOP IN COMPUTATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCE, MODELING, AND COMPLEXITY
June 16-28, 2019, Santa Fe, NM
"I can honestly say that SFI’s Graduate Workshop in Computational Social Science has proven to be one of the most inspiring and useful experiences I have had in my development as an academic. Attending it has deeply enriched my research and given me an opportunity to become part of an intellectual community that I consider to be at the cutting-edge of social scientific thought. I have no doubt that the few, vibrant weeks I spent at this workshop will continue to benefit my work for years to come." - Lynette Shaw, GWCSS Aluma
The Santa Fe Institute is pleased to announce the 25th(!) annual Graduate Workshop in Computational Social Science Modeling and Complexity, June 16-28, 2019, in Santa Fe. The workshop will bring together a group of advanced graduate students and a small faculty for an intensive two week study of computational social science modeling and complexity. The workshop will consist of lectures by faculty, special topic seminars by members of the Santa Fe Institute, and presentations of work in progress by graduate student participants. The primary goal of the summer workshop is to assist graduate students pursuing research agendas which includes a computational modeling component. A significant portion of the workshop will be devoted to analyzing and improving research being conducted by the graduate student participants.
To get a better idea about workshop activities and focus, please take a look at the 1995-2018 workshop pages at https://jhmsfi.github.io/JHMWeb/econ/
Participation at the workshop will be limited to around 10 graduate students.
Tuition:
Tuition $2,475
Tuition for the program covers participation, course materials, accommodations and meals, but not travel. For students seeking departmental funding to attend the school, supporting materials are available from SFI. Tuition assistance is available based on an individual's need and merit. Students are responsible for their travel costs.
