Series D – Planetary Systems

Series D expands the scope of research from individual institutions towards planetary-scale systems of governance and coordination. Drawing upon systems thinking, complexity science and computational simulation, it investigates global governance networks, civilisational dynamics, resilience, distributed coordination and the cognitive infrastructures required to understand increasingly interconnected planetary systems.
