The mission of the OECD is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social wellbeing of people around the world. The purpose of the meeting between the OECD and IIASA is to form a strategic partnership with the aim to look together at issues that directly affect everyone’s daily life, to draw on facts and real-life experience, and to jointly shape policies by applying systems thinking to improve the quality of people’s lives.
Joining Kabat on the visit are Jan Marco Müller, Head of the IIASA Directorate Office, and Chin-Min Lee, Special Advisor to the IIASA Director General and CEO.
During his time in Paris, Kabat will give a lecture titled “The IIASA experience: Introducing systems thinking to policy” to OECD management and staff. The lecture will present how the unique capacities of IIASA in developing systemic solutions - both at the global level and at regional/national levels - could be used to the benefit of OECD and its member states.
High-Level Meetings
The visit will include high-level meetings with the following OECD stakeholders and leaders in policy and science in Paris, to enhance research collaborations and to build a strategic partnership in the field of systems analysis:

The Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) was established in 1948 to run the US-financed Marshall Plan for reconstruction of a continent ravaged by war. By making individual governments recognise the interdependence of their economies, it paved the way for a new era of cooperation that was to change the face of Europe. Encouraged by its success and the prospect of carrying its work forward on a global stage, Canada and the US joined OEEC members in signing the new OECD Convention on 14 December 1960. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) was officially born on 30 September 1961, when the Convention entered into force.
