Our Research

Our research aims to build knowledge and experience in the application of models to support decision and policy making

We have chosen 4 focus areas of our research Service Systems Engineering and Management, Industrial Sustainability and Resilience, Clean and Renewable, and Ports, Logistics and Supply Chain. In addition to the 4 focus areas, we have Serious Simulation Gaming (SSG) Research area. SSG is an extention from each research areas as our effort to make sure that the knowledge that we gather from our research can be transferable to the public.

Our research also aims to develop skills and capabilities in multiple modeling approach.

A good technical side would allow to avoid the trap: “when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. Model approach and methods must fit with what the problems needs.

When you develop a model to solve problem or make policy decisions, you somehow has to understand the problem or policy itself. You must become an expert as quickly as possible with a system perspective. Therefore, knowledge library is important to jump start this process.
