I am available to give courses based on this book. If you are interested, feel free to contact me.
Upcoming free course: Agent-Based Evolutionary Game Dynamics
I am pleased to announce an intensive introductory course held at the NASP Graduate School (Milan) from May 18–22, 2026. This program is designed for students from various disciplines, including economics, social and political sciences, computer science, ecology, engineering and complex systems. It will equip participants with the practical skills necessary to design, implement and analyse dynamic models of strategic interactions where agents may learn and adapt. The course is suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates with a basic quantitative background. The course is free (no fees!). You can have a look at the syllabus here. You can register at the link below.
📅 Registration Deadline: April 15, 2026
Fee: Free of charge.
Course organized by The Computational Methods and Designs Hub of the Department of Social and Political Sciences (SPS), in collaboration with NASP, the doctoral school in political and social sciences of the Università degli Studi di Milano.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
