We hope to launch our brand new HSMA-λ (HSMA lambda) courses, aimed at leaders and decision makers, in winter 2026/27 – spring 2027, and HSMA 7 in spring/summer 2027.
Want to hear when we open up applications for either of these? Send us an email at penchord@exeter.ac.uk (stating your full name and organisation) to be added to our mailing list.
Session lead: Dr Daniel Chalk
In this session, we take a look at System Dynamics as a way of understanding whether there are inherent issues in the way our systems are structured.
We use the online InsightMaker tool to create a quantitative system dynamics model.

In this session, we begin looking at Agent Based Simulation - a simulation modelling approach that allows us to capture individual level behaviours of actors in our system, and observe the emergent dynamics.
We also take a look at Cellular Automata, and head to the Edge of Chaos.

In this session, we look at how we can use the excellent Python package MESA to help us build our own Agent Based Simulations, and we'll revisit our old friend Object Oriented Programming to help us do that.
