What is the OCOPOMO project all about?

OCOPOMO - Open COllaboration for POlicy MOdelling aims at defining and demonstrating a new "off the mainstream" approach to policy modelling. The project will integrate lessons and techniques from complexity science, agent based social simulation, foresight scenario analysis and stakeholder participation in order to use models for exploring the effects of policies, so that understanding of alternative points of view can be achieved by all parties.

Policy operators and stakeholders collaborate in scenario development. Based on this, a macroeconomic agent-based simulation model will be developed, visualized and simulated through ICT and tested in pilot experiences. In a nutshell, we will develop a software supporting decision-makers in shaping policies with stakeholders.
