| Title |
Systems modelling for sustainable development |
| Description |
Sustainability researchers and practitioners are confronted by systems everywhere – from local economies and landscapes to the world-system. These systems are typically complex, making them difficult to understand and to influence. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of systems theory and modelling as well as practical skills for modelling complex systems. The knowledge and skills that you acquire in this course will help you to better understand complex systems and to design, test, and promote interventions for influencing them.
The course is intended as an introduction for graduate students of various backgrounds and therefore no prior experience with systems theory or modelling is required. The course consists of lectures, tutorials, workshops, and project work. Students are evaluated based on peer feedback summaries, oral presentations, an in-class assignment, a research proposal, and a research report. Most work is done in small groups (2-4 students). |
