The International Microsimulation Association is pleased to announce its 8th World Congress, which will be held on December 1-3, 2021. In light of the health safety recommendations and uncertainty pertaining to international travel, the conference will be online. The objective of the congress is to bring together leading researchers in the field of microsimulation and agent-based modelling to discuss their most recent research.
The submission deadline is November 1, 2021. Authors will be informed of acceptance by November 10, 2021. To submit a paper, please fill the form below.
The congress is open to all areas of microsimulation, including static and dynamic microsimulations, agent-based models, behavioural models, and all applied and methodological contributions related to microsimulation. There will also be a special workshop during the conference, focusing on teaching and training microsimulation.
