DFG Workshop 2021-4

The 4rd workshop on 'Social Identity in Agent-based Models' (SIAM) took place 13-16 September online (Zoomland) and face-to-face (Kassel, DE) in parallel with hybrid moments.

In this workshop we reconnected with each other and delved deeper into formalising aspects of SIA. By means of an use case we discussed the formalisation of SIA, resulting in a few newborn ABMs of the case and detailed conceptual formulations of the influence of social identification on adopting a group norm. Hitting the right balance between small group work, syncing as a group, learning and stimulating each other to push it further was extremely effective and fun. And that was not all, on the last day the other ongoing group work (review and special issue) was pushed further too...
