ICCS 2025 will host the third workshop on Computational Diplomacy and Policy (CodiP). This annual workshop provides a platform for scientists and policy makers to share and discuss the latest developments in the multidisciplinary areas at the intersection between computational science, international relations, policy and governance. Following the successful CodiP workshop during ICCS 2024, this third edition builds on the solid foundation laid previously in applying computational techniques, and in particular computational modeling, to address decision-making challenges in policy and diplomacy, including the latest developments in AI and modelling software that supports or stands in for real-time decision making. This upcoming workshop is designed to delve deeper into the subject matter with an emphasis on state-of-the-art methods.

This third edition is co-organized by the Universities of Amsterdam, Geneva, and Durham. At Amsterdam, the POLDER initiative is developing co-created research and new educational programmes around complexity, policy and social systems. The University of Geneva, through the SiDLab is building a new group around computational diplomacy. The University of Durham, through the Durham Research Methods Centre is working with scholars and non-academic partners to develop interdisciplinary methods training and research.

The third edition of this annual workshop will provide a platform for scientists and policy makers to share and discuss the latest developments in these emerging areas.
