Events of relevance to systems engineering
2022 International System Dynamics Conference is Imminent The International System Dynamics Conference (ISDC) is an annual event where people from all over the world interested in the practice of System Dynamics and systems thinking gather. Now in its 40th year, the Conference appeals to audiences across industry and academia. The conference introduces newcomers to the field, keeps practitioners aware of current developments, and provides a wide range of networking opportunities.The 2022 International System Dynamics Conference (ISDC2022) will be held on 18-22 July, both in Frankfurt, Germany and online. Both modes of participation will provide access to the full conference program. Featured plenary sessions include: • The Dynamics of Privilege (John Sterman): Most people attribute their successes to their personal capabilities and actions. Actions and outcomes are easily observed, but your success also depends on the systems in which you are embedded, including your race/ethnicity/gender, and your family, community, school, and other circumstances. • From Limits to Growth to Earth for All (Jørgen Randers): Humanity is now midway in the “overshoot and collapse” mode described in The Limits to Growth 50 years ago – we have serious climate overshoot, but not yet global collapse. How will human well-being develop during the evolving encounter with planetary limits? • Co-creating Energy Solutions (Merla Kubli): This presentation invites you on a journey to different forms of co-creation in the energy field. In the effort of fighting climate change, new energy solutions emerge that disrupt the roles of consumers and producers. • Tipping the Scales - Using Microworlds to Uncover Systemic Issues Driving Organization's Gender Pay Gap (Hugo Jose Herrera de Leon): In this plenary, we'll summarise our experience using microworlds (system dynamics interactive environments) to facilitate conversations about the structural issues driving the gender pay gap at an organizational level. It is the summary of three years of conducting workshops with senior leaders of private and public sector entities. • Renewable Energy Sources - Diversity of Impacts, Perspectives, and Challenges - (Santiago Arango Aramburo): Renewable energy sources are cornerstones to tackling the climate crisis and a fundamental part of the energy transition. Investment costs have significantly declined in the last decades which, together with economic incentives, has led to rapid growth in renewable capacity. • Learning Economics with Dynamic Modeling - Collaboration of Norway and Ukraine (David Wheat & Team): Struggling to develop a System Dynamics university program and community? Professors at UiB, NaUKMA and LNU present how collaboration led to building capacity in System Dynamics skills and providing practical assistance to government ministries, the central bank, and schools in Ukraine.
