A systems approach to the world highlights structural similarities across diverse domains. With a certain level of analytical abstraction, these similarities allow a unified language for description and analysis of different systems. This universality offers opportunities to transfer concepts, methods, and insights across different disciplinary domains, fostering cross-domain innovation and sense-making.
To make real-world impact, integrating a systems perspective into decision-making necessitates transcending disciplinary boundaries and forging partnerships beyond the scientific community. ASA research engages with policymakers in interactive processes of co-production of theories of change, data, interventions and insights.
In order to address complex risk and resilience problems, SYRR implements Risk&Resilience Labs. These collaborative spaces support co-generation exercises for research, policy and practice. They proceed in transdisciplinary mode building on quantitative and qualitative research methods for creating enhanced insight and impact.
