“In a rapidly changing world, characterized by increasingly higher levels of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, policymakers are constantly looking for more and better evidence to improve governance, policy design, and implementation and to secure the sustainability of the social, environmental, economic, and political systems in which they operate. The 5th annual GSPP conference is designed to share policymakers and stakeholders the results of cutting edge research in several policy areas and domains”.
