This is where information about the “Complexity in the Real World” satellite workshop under ECCS 2012 will be posted.
The workshop will occur on the 5th & 6th September 2012.
The idea for the workshop comes from a number of different sources:
- The four UK-funded ‘Complexity Science in the Real World’ projects in the UK (along with the accompanying ‘Complexity Science for the Real World‘ network) wish to interest and involve other academics in their research
- Interest on behalf of the organisers in bridging the gap between the policy world and the academic research world, following on from previous ECCS workshops (the 2010 workshops on Policy making in complex adaptive systems, and Social Complexity of Informal Value Exchange, as well as the joint 2011 meeting on Policy Modelling)
- An increasing pressure from national and EU funding agencies to increase the policy “Impact” of research
- A general wish to see some practical policy-relevant applications of complexity science, as evidenced in the ASSYST‘s effort to collect such ‘Success Stories‘
See the Call for Papers for more details about the kinds of papers we want.
