NPCS Meeting of Minds (in Wageningen)

Will the plans of the new government give an impetus to complex systems science in the Netherlands? In what areas is a large societal or industrial need felt for new research and application? But also: what are the big fundamental questions that we need to address?

Dear reader,

We are pleased to invite you to the second NPCS Meeting of Minds. This one is in Wageningen.

In an informal atmosphere, we invite you to share your views on the opportunities and challenges for the complexity research community of the Netherlands. We will kick-off with a few short speeches to set the stage for possible discussion topics, and then give you the opportunity to exchange ideas with your peers. Poster boards are available if so desired.
