2010 AHRC CECD Summer School, University College London, UK

'Modelling of spatial diffusion and dispersal processes in social science'

Monday, 6th September to Friday, 10th September 2010

This summer school is aimed at social scientists working on contemporary and historical cases of population expansion and innovation diffusion. The program provides an overview of discrete and continuous methods used to model different kinds of dispersal processes in time and space and will be centered on practical tutorials which will provide a basic understanding of how to use free software packages such as NetLogo and Octave to address research questions in this field. Lectures will cover the theoretical background and recent research results. The summer school will be held on the University College London Campus.
