Course 2: Introduction to Agent-Based Modeling (ABM)
The powerful simulation approach you have chosen to study is widely used by scientists, stakeholders, and policymakers, particularly when combined with geospatial and agricultural management data. Over the next few weeks, you will learn to understand complex ABM concepts, build ABMs with geospatial data, and code in NetLogo.
This first module (ABM_1) takes about 10 hours. You will be invited to the next two courses after completing the first module. This course is taught by instructors from the University of Twente. This course is fully self-paced.
After the course, you will be able to: Identify a CAS (Complex Adaptive System), describe its relevant complex properties (such as emergence and scales), and link these properties with model components and dynamics. Document an existing ABM using a standard protocol. Read and run NetLogo models using existing examples. Course access period: 11 -30 September 2025
