complex systems digital campus
Milton Keynes
The CS-DC international network of institutions comprises more than 100 higher
education and research institutions and was recognized as an UNESCO UniTwin in
July 2014 with the signature of a Cooperation Programme with the
Director-General of UNESCO. The main objectives of the Cooperation Programme are
to: promote an integrated system of research, education and training,
information and documentation in the domain of the science and engineering of
complex systems, contribute to the aims of global development by taking into
account its social, economic and cultural dimensions and to this end, make the
science and engineering of complex systems accessible to all, in order to get
the relations between science, engineering, politics and ethics to evolve
towards a sustainable development, contribute to a research and education of the
highest quality in the domain of the science of complex systems, promote the
development of integrated knowledge and integrated models of complex systens in
order to bridge the gap between science and engineering, promote a lifelong
personalised education for all in the science of complex systems as well as in
integrative and predictive sciences — including the integrative and predictive
science of personalised education for all — at all levels, contribute to an
education and training in citizen cyber-science, open to all, independently of
previously achieved academic levels, respectful of the diversity of social and
cultural environments, genders, religions or ways of life. In order to achieve
these objectives, the object of the current agreement is to: launch a Complex
Systems Digital Campus as a social intelligent ICT system in order to federate
all resources and efforts on education, research and the applications of the
science of complex systems, launch the CS-DC roadmap at all scales in order to
identify the scientific, educational and societal challenges of CS-DC with its
cloud-based computational ecosystem and educational ecosystem, launch the
scientific cloud-based computational ecosystem of the CS-DC in order to
construct complex systems of societal impact, by sharing partial multi-level
models as well as software platforms and e-infrastructures of all kinds, launch
the educational ecosystem of the CS-DC in order to construct a map of integrated
knowledge, with the aim of creating and adapting educational contents as well as
to develop a lifelong personalised education on complex systems.
