CS2Nordics - The Nordic Conference on Computational Social Science
CS2Nordics 2026 is the first plenary meeting of Nordic Society for Computational Social Science (NoSoCSS). It is a venue for the members of the Society to meet, present their research, and create new collaborations. Computational Social Scientists from the global community are also very welcome to attend and share their work. The conference welcomes work at the intersection of computational methods and the social and behavioral sciences, spanning economics, sociology, political science, psychology, cognitive science, and computer science.
