Conferences and Workshops

On its own or together with other institutions the IAB organizes numerous meetings for the scientific community and for professionals in the public sphere, especially for the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS).

European Meeting of the International Microsimulation Association 2022

Conferences and Workshops

The conference is open to all areas of microsimulation, including static and dynamic microsimulation, agent-based models, behavioural models, and all applied and methodological contributions related to microsimulation.
