Objectives

The objectives of the colloquium are to bring together PhD students working on foundations, techniques, tools, and applications in System Dynamics and to provide opportunities to present and discuss their research in a constructive atmosphere. Oral presentations are followed by dedicated workshops that allow for the identification and discussion of commonly encountered problems in SD research projects and provide a unique opportunity for students and experienced SD practitioners alike. Poster sessions always result in lively discussions with all involved. Indeed, the participation of experienced academics and other practitioners from the wider System Dynamics community is what makes the day a special event for all attendees and provides a constructive and challenging atmosphere for the students.
We warmly invite PhD students in the early to middle stages of their research to present their research proposal at the colloquium. You will receive valuable feedback from the experienced researchers in the field as well as from fellow students. Even if you are not presenting your work, you are still more than welcome to join the PhD Colloquium on the day. It is a great opportunity to meet fellow students from around the world and exchange ideas.
