We are excited to share the news that applications are open for the 5th annual Systems Science for Social Impact Summer Training Institute, to be held at Washington University in St. Louis from August 12 – 16, 2024.

At this five-day training, participants will get a hands-on introduction to systems science methods with a focus on five main tracks: Intro to Systems (Virginia McKay & Alexandra Morshed, instructors), Agent-based Modeling (Ross Hammond & Matt Kasman, instructors), Group Model Building (Ellis Ballard & Kelsey Werner, instructors), Social Network Analysis (Douglas Luke & Sara Malone, instructors), and System Dynamics (Nasim Sabounchi & Kristen Hassmiller Lich, instructors). Participants will review the major concepts of their chosen track/method, learn analytic best practices, and apply the methods to real-world data. The workshops are designed for faculty, advanced graduate students, recent graduates, and professionals from public health, social work, and social sciences.
