The macroeconomic agent-based model (MacroABM) developed by IIASA is gaining momentum. Researchers and practitioners working on the model, both from academic and policy institutions, will meet on 18-19 April 2024 in Schloss Laxenburg. This workshop will facilitate exchanges on the model, create a space to get support with practical issues, and share ideas.
The Summer School will be held at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg (Austria), which is located 15 km south of Vienna. The commute from Vienna to IIASA will take 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the location of your accommodation) as the institute is based in a former imperial palace located in Laxenburg, Lower Austria.
