The Università Politecnica delle Marche (UNIVPM), located in Ancona (Italy), is organizing the 2^nd summer school on Agent-Based Stock-Flow Consistent (AB-SFC) macroeconomic modelling from the 4^th to the 8th of September 2023. The school will use a "hands-on" perspective: each frontal theoretical lecture will be followed by a laboratory in which the students will have the chance to work firsthand on codes (using mainly R) supported by the school's lecturers.

The aim of the school is to help the students start developing the bulk of skills required to become autonomous researcher in this field. The importance of interaction is one of the key insights of the agent-based modelling (ABM) approach, accordingly the organization will also include numerous occasions for the students to interact and collaborate with one another and with the lecturers to discuss their ongoing research.

The school is organized by the Department of Economic and Social Sciences (DiSES) of the Università Politecnica delle Marche, in collaboration with the Department of Management (DiMA), and with the support of INET - YSI (young scholars initiative), and the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE).
