Pijus Krūminas will discuss how to use modeling techniques in social science and apply them to wargaming.
About this Event

Description: Social scientists are known to use various mathematical modelling techniques whether game theory, equilibrium, agent-based, big data-driven or other types of models. They also attract weighty criticism due to oversimplification, assumptions used and the complexity of social reality among other reasons. This webinar will focus on the relationship between wargaming and other modelling approaches in social sciences, especially game theory. What are the key complementarities? We will locate wargaming in this broader map of social science models to see how it can contribute to better learning and better understanding of social reality.

Bio: Pijus Krūminas is an Associate Professor and programme director at ISM University of Management and Economics in Vilnius, Lithuania. There he runs classes on wargaming, game theory, and comparative politics, supervises theses based on games as a data collection method, and simply educates about serious games. Pijus has also been running wargame-based seminars in the field of security and military education.
