Global Development:Science and Policies for the Future


IIASA Conference '07: Global Development:Science and Policies for the Future

14-15 November 2007 at the Hofburg Imperial Palace, Vienna, Austria


"IIASA’s conference, Global Development: Science and Policies for the Future, will focus on the current trends in global development and explore the human and environmental realities of the coming decades that should—and must—drive policy making today."

Comment: For a number of years I was a government participant in the meetings of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. The organization was created as a Cold War initiative by the Soviet Union and the United States. I represents an important initiative in the application of quantitative modeling techniques to important policy issues. JAD
