The System Dynamics Society Summer School provides an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of building and using System Dynamics Models.

The Introductory track is intended for people with little or no experience in System Dynamics who have a keen interest to learn. It is appropriate for those who have read about and worked with some conceptualization and diagramming tools, but have not had the opportunity to develop very many working simulation models. The intro track is offered in two sections, one with times convenient for the Americas and another with times convenient for Europe - though students may attend sessions in both time zones in they choose. Students may choose between Stella and Vensim for their course work, though the emphasis is on conceptual learning, not software. Registration for the introductory track is open to all System Dynamics Society members ( you are not already a member, you may join here).

The Intermediate track is intended for people who have had experience building simulation models and want to further develop their skills. There is an assessment exam that must be taken prior to enrolling. On successful completion of the exam you will be provided with a registration link. It is offered using a staggered schedule so as to be accessible for students in all time zones. Students may choose between Stella and Vensim for their course work, though the emphasis is on conceptual learning, not software.
