 ASSYST / CSS Newsletter for April 2010

Current Newsletter:  CSS/ASSYST Newsletter April 2010 (PDF)

ASSYST is a multi-disciplinary coordination action with diverse connections and perspectives. When working in each of our own offices we can sometimes forget the amount of effort that other partners are putting into their own tasks. This is why, from time to time, the ASSYST partners get together, talk and evaluate how the coordination action is progressing. During the week of April 22, the ASSYST team met in Brussels to discuss on the project. It was also the time of the annual review meeting with the European Commission. This review meeting evaluated to what extent we had met our objectives for the first year and looked at the continued relevance of the work plan for the years ahead. The comments of the reviewers left the team with a positive felling about the work that has been carried out and with an optimistic outlook for the second year that just starte.

The ASSYST coordination action is a challenging project. You deal with people that have different perspectives on what a complex system is, or how this field connects to policy makers. To tackle these different aspects, different competencies are needed. Viswanathan Anand, the World Champion of Chess, once said: “The team is a good amalgam of style, people and geography.” In fact this could be applied to the ASSYST team. Although from different disciplinary and geographical origins, it's in these differences that we evolve the solutions to the challenges posed by the new Complex Systems research community. The first year has now passed and we hope that you’ve enjoyed the result as much as we’ve enjoyed producing it. We promise to bring new and exciting things related to Complex Systems domains in the next couple of years.
