This two-day event in cooperation with the Austrian Academy of Sciences will begin with an evening event on 16 November 2022 that demonstrates how systems analysis can contribute to solving many of today’s global challenges as well as explore the future of this transdisciplinary field. The second day will feature a major international conference on systems analysis.
Tool
Social and policy simulations, as well as serious games, are participatory processes through which diverse societal stakeholders collectively explore a complex reality and complex challenges. These participatory processes combine both social and natural science insights to foster experiential learning. They enable participants to make sense of the complexity associated with policy issues, and reflect on system inter-linkages and stakeholder plurality. These methods have become increasingly recognised for informing and guiding policy in complex settings, including sustainable development, climate change mitigation/adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
