Science, technology, and innovation will be vital in the battle to overcome global challenges and achieve a sustainable world for future generations. IIASA researcher Leena Ilmola will attend the World Science and Technology Forum and speak about the applications of agent based modelling.
The systems approach taken at IIASA is in contrast to narrowly focused, single-disciplinary science. A systems approach can provide a solid basis for policies and solutions to resolve major transitions and sustainability challenges.
