Activities

The CMD hub supports and promotes an array of outstanding initiatives:

• the CMD Seminars and Workshops – the events designed to further the debate on assumptions, contents, consequences, and applications of computational techniques for improving knowledge of social and political phenomena.

• the CMD Visiting program – the program that supports talented emerging and established scholars to visit the Dept. of Social and Political Science and contribute to the Hub’s activities.

• the Computational Ph.D. Tracks – the innovative training paths that equip selected Ph.D. students in Economic Sociology and Labour Studies and in Political Studies of the NASP graduate school with knowledge and skills for contributing meaningfully to the emerging fields of Computational Social Sciences and Computational Political Science.

• the Behave Summer School – the hybrid school that trains students on agent-based modeling through theoretical and practical lectures, daily hands-on sessions on NetLogo, project presentations, and personal counseling from renowned experts.

• the Because Summer String – the hybrid initiative that merges the experiences of the ReSPoS Summer School and the EITM Spring and Summer School into a string of Masterclasses to train students to yield credible, usable, and policy-relevant causal knowledge.
