The Student-Organized Colloquium 2023 will be a two-day event. The virtual day (using Zoom) on Wednesday, July 19th will have keynote presentations by more experienced system dynamicists, poster sessions, angel advising of student presenters, and small group breakout sessions. The main focus of the SOC is to provide opportunities for less experienced system dynamicists to receive feedback on their work, build networks and learn from and alongside each other in a comfortable environment. The hybrid portion will be on Sunday, July 23rd, and feature the hybrid student plenary presentations, and in-person-only angel advising and poster session.

A fun and informal session where less experienced participants get a chance to talk about their work (successes and challenges) and any System Dynamics related topics while gaining a perspective from more experienced (senior, mentor) system dynamicists. Participants engage in smaller break-out groups and get an opportunity to set an agenda of topics they’d like to discuss as a group in the allotted time.

Keynote: An experienced system dynamicist will give a keynote address about their journey in system dynamics and how System Dynamics relates to this year’s Student-Organized Colloquium theme.

Student Presentations: Based on a competitive review process, two to three students will be chosen to present a 20-minute oral paper presentation of their work.

Participants can interact with one another whilst viewing the varied selection of posters presented by less experienced system dynamicists. 

During this time, poster presenters can meet with their Angel Advisors to receive dedicated feedback on their work.
