Call for participation - Summer School on Computational Decision Sciences, London, Sept 7-11

[Anand Subramoney]

Dear all,

It’s our pleasure to announce the Graduate Summer School on Computational Decision Sciences (GSS-CDS)––the second edition of the summer school at the Centre for Decision Sciences, Royal Holloway, University of London.

What

GSS-CDS will bring together an interdisciplinary audience tackling decision making in different scientific fields (see Program). The focus is on mathematical and computational modelling, integrating concepts and methods from mathematical psychology, computational psychiatry, computational neuroscience, computational social sciences, machine learning, and cultural evolution. Attendees will benefit from talks from leading researchers and practical hands-on sessions. Attendees will also have the opportunity to receive career advice during social networking events and reflect critically about research practices in EDI sessions.

Where and When

GSS-CDS will take place at Stewart House, within Senate House, in Central London, on September 7^th-11^th (see Schedule).

Target audience

GSS-CDS is targeted towards attendees from diverse fields (e.g., computer science, machine learning psychology, neuroscience, social sciences, etc.) and career stages (masters, PhD, postdoc, and junior PI). 

Prerequisite

A basic background knowledge in elementary statistics (e.g., probability theory) and programming in Python/R is highly recommended to master the technical skills, but no prior experience with computational modeling is required.

Registration

Course fee is £480 (includes the registration fee, lunch, tea/coffee breaks, reception events and VAT). To register, please visit this page. Places are limited and registrations will close on Monday, June 15^th, at 10am UK time.

Please feel free to share this information with anyone you think might be interested in participating.

 Looking forward to seeing you all in September.

Best wishes,

Gabriele, Nura, Anand
