GCRI · Systems Science and Modelling

Innovation and practical technology

Technology relevant to methods and modelling, risk management and systemic risk and research and evidence: what it can do, the constraints it faces and its consequences for people and institutions.

02Approach

Evaluate before adopting.

  1. 01

    Need

    Which problem does the technology address, and for whom?

  2. 02

    Evidence

    What has been demonstrated, under what conditions, and what remains untested?

  3. 03

    Constraints

    Cost, skills, infrastructure, data and governance requirements.

  4. 04

    Consequences

    Effects on safety, rights, equity and the environment.

03Technologies under assessment

What could change systems modelling practice, and what it still has to show.

TechnologyWhat it could changeWhat remains to be shown
Model emulatorsFaster exploration of uncertaintyFidelity
Coupling frameworksInteroperable modelsConsistency
Robust decision methodsDecisions under deep uncertaintyCommunication
04Build and test

From idea to tested capability.

Promising work can be built in Foundry and tested under controlled conditions through Universe. No technology is described as proven before it has been tested and reviewed.

06Questions

Questions and answers.

Does the platform endorse products?
No. It evaluates technologies and publishes what it finds, with limits. It does not endorse, certify or recommend products or vendors.
