The Student Chapter of the Chapter of the System Dynamics Society was established in 1999.

We bring together all students who are involved in System Dynamics research and give them the opportunity to raise key questions and/or concerns related to their research and discuss these in depth in a constructive and enjoyable atmosphere. To this end the chapter organises a yearly PhD Colloquium held during the International Conference of the System Dynamics Society.

Objectives of the Chapter
  • To extend and unify the knowledge of feedback systems among students all over the world.
  • To promote the development of System Dynamics and the interchange of knowledge and research in all related fields.
  • To intensify the communication between and form a basis for cooperation amongst the graduate students in their researches.
  • To arouse interest among undergraduate students towards System Dynamics.
  • To promote the communication between the students of SD and the practitioners of the field.
  • To form a medium to help SD students to get into contact with field related graduate studies and job opportunities.
PhD Colloquium

The PhD Colloquium is a whole day event for Ph.D. students to present and inspiringly discuss their current research about foundations, techniques, tools, and applications in System Dynamics for their doctoral dissertation with junior and senior System Dynamics practitioners in an international atmosphere.
