主讲人首先会介绍IIASA的博士后项目和YSSP (Young Scientists Summer Program)，之后将通过一个现场的互动活动（social-ecological simulations）来模拟复杂社会生态系统。

Social-Ecological Systems (SES) are complex and adaptive systems with linked bio-geo-physical and social components through feedback mechanisms. Understanding and modeling the complexity in SESs is critical for achieving sustainability of SESs but it's challenging. Social-ecological simulations and games recently emerged as a new tool for studying and communicating SESs (e.g., in the field of common resources management). I will first introduce a few games with different levels of complexity and various topics, such as disaster preparedness, forest conservation, and water management. We will then play a webpage-based role-playing simulation game, namely Forest@Risk, with medium level of complexity. Players will have chances to practice strategy, collaboration and leadership in a complex environment and learn how to align goals, negotiate and coordinate actions to achieve goals. After the game we will further discuss how such games can help explore complexity in SESs and facilitate research, education and communication.

注：此次活动曾在IIASA内部、北大清华都有举办，效果非常好，现诚邀各位师生参加！前面宣讲部分人数不限，但为了后续互动环节顺利进行则需要提早统计参加互动活动的人数（30人以内），有意参加互动活动者请发短信至13146160187报名，谢谢！
