REMINDER: Autumn school on modelling using LIAM2 at LISER (Luxembourg)

[Gaëtan de Menten]

Dear all,

We would like to emphasize again this unique event: in the context of the InGRID network, the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER, formerly CEPS/INSTEAD) ), in collaboration with experts from the Federal Planning Bureau in Brussels, is organizing a workshop on “Elaborating a discrete-time dynamic microsimulation model with LIAM2, an open source development tool”. It is free of charge and will take place from 16 to 18 November 2015 in Luxembourg. Travel costs and accommodation are reimbursed up to certain amounts.

This workshop is intended as an extensive introduction for those who wish to initiate (or know more about) the development of a dynamic microsimulation model. It will leave maximum room for practice. After an overview of basic concepts, participants will start working on their own simple dynamic model from scratch, using the open source toolbox LIAM2. There is no need for prior knowledge of LIAM2 which will be introduced from zero during the workshop. Both basic and more advanced modelling methodologies will be introduced. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to introduce briefly their own developments or concerns which in turn might leave room for further improvements of LIAM2. After this workshop, the participants will know enough to start the development of their own microsimulation model, including importing datasets and produce understandable output tables.

The number of places is limited and the deadline for application is 2 August 2015.
