MHBW01 — The Mathematics of Behaviour: an interdisciplinary school

Interdisciplinary research requires researchers to first develop a common language for discipline specific terminology. This school will gather experts from various disciplines within behavioural and mathematical sciences, to establish common ground in terminology, map the similarities and differences in challenge perspectives across disciplines, and discuss inclusive environments in interdisciplinary settings. The confluence of modelling and behavioural expertise will be harnessed to promote structured discussions of the adequacy and required innovation to capture key behaviours in modelling approaches. The school will feature contributions from across the mathematical sciences, with expertise in incorporating behaviour into the spectrum of modelling approaches (agent-based models, meso-level, macro-level and AI modelling) across epidemiology, energy use and other application areas, to present conventional and emerging methodologies for incorporating human behaviour.
