[agents] Social Simulation Fest 2022

[Henricus Verhagen]

Dear all

Last year we had over 300 registered participants. This year, granted with a lower COVID spread and in many cases an end to the ban on large personal meetings, we have 35 registered participants so far. We hope and believe the interest to be higher and wish to call your attention to the online Social Simulation festive event of the year.
We will send out the zoom links in due time to those who have registered and keep them also informed of any changes.
The website for the 2022 edition of the online Social Simulation Fest is now open for business, including registration for the event!
The place to turn to is www.socsimfest.eu<http://www.socsimfest.eu>.
Best from the Fest committee

Harko Verhagen, Melania Borit and Nanda Wijermans
