New and Emergent World Models Through Individual, Evolutionary and Social Learning (FP6-IST-3752-FET) is a three year, collaborative project that will grow a virtual society developed by agent-based simulation. 

Summary (from the project description): The main task of SocSimNet project is to diminish the disproportion between social and engineering science specialists in a democratic and economically profitable way. 

SimWeb (IST-2001-34651) was a three-year project to provide European businesses in the digital contents sector with insights and tools which will enable them to take informed business strategy decisions and become more competitive by adapting their traditional business models to the new, demanding reality. To achieve this objective, SimWeb has designed and implemented sector models based on reusable multi-agent simulation technology.

In February 2007, CRESS joined a new project, PATRES, funded by the European Commission to develop new methods and tools for defining action policies in order to maintain or restore desired pattern dynamics in a complex system. Our role in this project is mainly concerned with a case study about social networking sites on the Internet, such as Facebook and Flickr.

This project, funded by Unilever Corporate Research, is investigating the usefulness of agent based simulations for modelling consumer behaviour and the potential value and insights it can add to traditional marketing methods.

NEMO will investigate the interplay between political governance, structure and function of politically induced R&D collaboration networks, in particular the networks that have emerged in the European Framework Programmes.

EMIL aims to understand and develop design strategies able to cope with the complex two-way dynamics of emergent and immergent processes: the emergence from interaction among individual agents to the aggregate level, and the immergence of entities (norms) at the aggregate level onto agents.
