Welcome

to the Social Simulation Conference 2026

Durham, 24-28th August 2026

The conference is one of the key activities of the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA), aimed at promoting social simulation in Europe and elsewhere. This year’s special theme is “Social simulation in a socio-technical context: embracing societies’ complexities.” A theme fitting to an engineering university that, through the faculty Technology, Policy and Management, bridges engineering to the many disciplines that are present in the ESSA community. Being open minded to other perspectives is in our DNA.
