MATSim User Meeting Japan

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding a MATSim User Meeting at The University of Tokyo on Thursday, November 21, 2024, from 15:00 to 18:00

This event will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present their work, discuss the latest developments in MATSim, and exchange ideas on agent-based transport simulations.

We are also excited to announce that Prof. Kay Axhausen(Visiting Professor at UTokyo), co-founder of MATSim, will be in Japan and presenting at this meeting. 

This is a rare opportunity to engage directly with one of the key figures behind MATSim, and we hope many of you will take advantage of this unique occasion.
