Learn how systems thinking can inform, model and impact policymaking. Society, scientists, and policymakers have to deal with wicked problems that can be assessed and solved only if seen in a systems context. In several modules that combine theory and hands-on workshops, we will move from system analysis to guidance in transforming social practices and policymaking. Participants will get to know a toolbox of techniques used in system mapping and system design. The course is designed as a series of half-day workshops with different experts and different tools. Participants are asked to bring their own problems and cases.
