Overview
The system perspective of this conceptual modeling is important for understanding the complexity and for identifying the feasible steps to improve scenario predictions and decision support.
Although the focus of the SI program is on countries in the “European Eastern Partnership” (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russian Federation, Sweden, Ukraine), we expect to include other partners with interest for developing cooperation. In addition to Univ. Gothenburg (Sweden; coordinating) the initial PLATFORM consortium included Khazar Univ. (Azerbaijan), Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (Russia), and SWS Scholarly Society (Austria).
The main activities are:
We do not begin with building project consortia for specific case studies because we believe the tools for integrating the correct expertise with the relevant stakeholders is essential for addressing complex issues and providing decision support.
Participants In PLATFORM will hopefully come away with both tools and networks for this process of project initiation. Specific case studies (depending upon partner interests) will become increasingly in focus once the methods have been introduced. The initiation and development of the case-study groups project activities will illustrate the PLATFORM methodology for new project development.
We welcome everyone who wants to enjoy the magical symbiosis of all fields of Science! Become our partner, enrich your research experience and reap the benefits of extensive cooperation with distinguished scientists from all around the world.

The project aims to generate awareness on rising sea levels, and engage Floridians to take action against climate change by providing a space where homeowners can address its impending impacts.Public Art Project on Climate Change -
Modeling for Project Collaboration
Conceptual Case-Study: web-based course utilizes conceptual modelling tools to promote system understanding when dealing with complex issues, such as societal resource management where multiple disciplines, stakeholders and processes are involved. It aims to help initiate projects and bring together the actors that can jointly develop strategies for problem definition, appropriate methodology and project opportunities.Conceptual Case-Study -
