The System Dynamics Society is pleased to announce the 2nd Asia Pacific Region System Dynamics Conference (http://apconference.systemdynamics.org/) which will be held at the National University of Singapore. Academics, consultants, students, managers and policy makers are invited to attend the three day conference, the theme of which is “Charting a path to a humane and sustainable future: Asia’s Leadership Role.”
The conference, featuring local and international speakers, will begin on Sunday, February 19, 2017 with a graduate research colloquium. The opening ceremony on Monday will kick off the first of two full conference days and will be followed by a half-day workshop that concludes the conference on Wednesday, February 22.
The program committee seeks to popularize and extend systems thinking and system dynamics modeling in the Asia Pacific region by facilitating interactions between practitioners from the region and around the world, introducing newcomers to the field and keeping practitioners aware of current developments. The conference will emphasize the public policy issues relating to sustainability, resilience and human well-being of particular relevance to the region. Because of the Residential College 4’s sponsorship role, emphasis will also be given to the effective teaching of system thinking and system dynamics modeling as a part of general education curricula for upper level secondary school and for first and second year undergraduate students.
