The 'Policy Modelling' workshop at the European Conference on Complex Systems, Vienna, September 2011 brought together new research on Policy Modelling as it intersects the area of complexity science. Broadly speaking this included research on how complexity models and simulation can be used to improve and inform the policy making process.
In particular the workshop focused on three key overlapping themes:
Modelling, Understanding and Managing Innovation
ICT, Large Scale Data and Scalability for Innovation Policy Modelling
Bridging the Gap between formal and policy worlds
