Introduction to Modeling Process

August 18, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm EDT

Virtual Event Virtual Event
Free

In this webinar, you will be able to build your very first System Dynamics model! This will be a small, quantitative model of Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other.

You will also make your first steps with Vensim software and learn how to apply it for very basic quantitative modeling. If you wish to use another software, you are equally welcome to join. We will also put a great focus on the System Dynamics modelling process and how we think about policy interventions in System Dynamics. Thus, this seminar is not just a presentation. It includes hands on modeling, and some interaction.

This is a 2-hours long hands-on webinar. Plan to arrive a few minutes earlier and for the entire webinar.
You must download and install the free version of Vensim. 

In this webinar, you will:
• Build your very first quantitative System Dynamics model
• Use Vensim software for very basic quantitative modeling
• Familiarise yourself with the System Dynamics modeling process
• Learn how System Dynamics can be used for policy development
