ESSA@work 2016 flag - application form
Great that you want to present your work as an ESSA@work presentation! Are you aware that when you are accepted for an ESSA@work session you will present anything but your final results? The presentation should be something that you have questions about, something you have problems with, or feel insecure with. Furthermore, it involves having to read the papers of the two other presenters of the session and prepare feedback. Finally, you will have to stay in the whole session that you are yourself presenting in, as this session will be concluded with a discussion that also involves your work.

Note! All information you provide in this extra application form will not go into the proceedings.
Modelling stage *
Please state your stage of modelling that you would like to discuss. The stages of modelling are related to designing your model (theoretical/conceptual modelling), building your model (programming and formalising your theoretical/conceptual model, model calibration, etc.) and testing your model to behave as it was designed (verification) or against the target you aim to simulate (validation). See Gilbert, N., & Troitzsch, K. G. (2005): Simulation for the social scientist. Open University Press.
