CALL FOR PAPERS, WORKSHOPS & CONTRIBUTIONS

Bridging Perspectives for New Insights

Submission Window: January, 16 – March, 19 | 2024

Submissions are encouraged on all topics relating to the theory and practical application of System Dynamics modeling.

The theme of the 2024 International System Dynamics Conference is “Bridging Perspectives for New Insights.” This theme highlights the need for building bridges across different fields and approaches to benefit everyone. In particular, the unique strengths of System Dynamics in bringing an endogenous, feedback-based perspective on important real-world problems complements methodological advancements in neighboring fields, from network science and epidemiology to operations research and econometrics. By building on these synergies System Dynamics research will be stronger and more impactful. Together, these complementary approaches can enrich theoretical and practical conversations in social, medical, and engineering sciences, ultimately leading to more holistic, long-term, and sustainable policies and insights.

We invite experts from different fields with an interest in connecting with System Dynamics to understand dynamic problems to join us in this stimulating and innovative event. Through sharing perspectives, combining approaches, and fostering productive collaborations we can advance our understanding of complex systems.
