We are excited to announce that PhD student Guna Jākobsone-Šnepste, along with young researchers Ieva Vītoliņa and Lasma Ulmane-Ooliņa, are participating in the prestigious BEHAVE Summer School on Agent-Based Modelling 2024 at the University of Brescia, Italy (Brescia, Italy, 2-13 September 2024). This event is jointly organized by the Department of Social and Political Sciences, University of Milan, and the Department of Information Engineering, University of Brescia, with support from the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA).
Guna Jākobsone-Šnepste had the opportunity to present her latest research, titled “Shift in Attitudes Toward Nuclear Energy in the European Union.” Her work explores the evolving public perceptions of nuclear energy within the EU, employing innovative agent-based modelling techniques to simulate shifts in societal attitudes. This important research offers insights into how policies and social factors influence public opinion on energy issues, a subject of growing relevance in the context of the EU’s transition towards sustainable energy solutions.
The BEHAVE Summer School brings together experts and emerging scholars to explore cutting-edge methods in agent-based modelling, with the goal of addressing key social, political, and technological challenges. The participation of Guna, Ieva, and Lasma underscores their commitment to advancing research in this dynamic field and contributes to the overall success of the TED4Lat project.
