We are excited to share the news that applications are open for the 2nd annual Systems Science for Social Impact Summer Training Institute, to be held at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis from July 27 to July 31, 2020.

At this five-day training, participants will get a hands-on introduction to systems science methods with a focus on four main tracks: Agent-based Modeling (Ross Hammond, track lead), Group Model Building (Jill Kuhlberg, track lead), Social Network Analysis (Douglas Luke, track lead), and System Dynamics (Peter Hovmand, track lead). Participants will review the major concepts of their chosen track/method, learn analytic best practices, and apply the methods to real-world data.
