[agents] SocSimFest2023 Call for Session proposals - reminder

[Henricus Verhagen]

*** sorry for X-posting ***

Social Simulation Fest will return in 2023, continuing the tradition (see https://www.socsimfest.eu/ for the 2022 and 2021 editions). This is an annual event that creates a moment to connect differently between ESSAs yearly Social Simulation conferences. Inspired by the feedback from the evaluation of SocSimFesT2022, we decided for the following dates in 2023: SocSimFesT 14-16 March 2023.

This is a call for session proposals at Social Simulation FesT 2023. Each SocSimFesT day in March we imagine having 3 sessions and an inspirational talk. Each session will be 1.5 hours in duration, in which the session organizers are responsible for arranging the content of the session. To propose a session, please write a max. 2000 characters description of your session, whilst making clear the following (not included in the 2000 characters):

A.                            Session timing preference (relative to Central European Time):

a.                            morning or afternoon

b.                            indicate which dates (14, 15, and 16 March) are possible

B.                            Session type: what kind of session do you want to organize. We prefer unconventional formats, encouraging discussions rather than predominantly listening to talks. Select one of the following options:

a.                            Tutorials and demonstrations: guided usage of a software tool or model that participants in your session will download and try.

b.                            Introductions to social simulation: outreach on social simulation tailored to disciplines and research areas.

c.                             Seminar: focused group discussion on a particular topic with one presentation introducing it, and extended Q&A afterwards.

d.                            Workshop: facilitated group discussion using online workshop tools and breakout groups.

e.                            Other interactive formats.

C.                           A brief description of how your sessions will enable participants to engage and feel included as well as how you envision taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the online format.
