Resilience Research & Networks - High-profile workshop in Vienna
Picked up from the International Social Network Analysis e-mailing list (INSNA):
ANNOUNCEMENT
2ND VIENNESE TALKS ON RESILIENCE RESEARCH & NETWORKS
NEW PERSPECTIVES ON GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION IN INSTABLE TIMES.
We cordially invite you to participate in our second high profile workshop with international experts from the fields of resilience research & network theory organized by FAS.resarch, IIASA, Federation of Austrian Industries, Austrian Ministry for Science & Research.
Resilience is about the capacity to deal with change and continue to develop. To facilitate the emergence of resilient systems will become a main challenge for politics, economy, and society in our increasingly instable world (climate change, peak oil, currency and budget crises, geopolitical challenges).
Resilience research is an ascendant paradigm aiming to explore the structural features of adaptive and robust ecosystems, societies, enterprises, and economies. Network theory provides a robust language to better describe and understand those features. The workshop will bring together the fields of resilience research & network theory and will demonstrate their value for adaptive management and strategy development in politics, economy, environment, and society.
The talks of the speakers are focused around three guiding questions:
. What is the evidence of resilience within a specific system?
. What are the threats for resiliency in a specific system?
. What role do networks play in the design of decision making structures?
When? 26th May 2011, 09 am - 6.00 pm
Where? Haus der Industrie, Schwarzenbergplatz 4, 1031 Wien/Vienna - Austria
Language? English
Registration: Participation is free for all, but subject to registration.
