European Project on Complex System Thinking

The Second Transnational Meeting

Pixel organized and coordinated the second meeting of the European project entitled Cosy Thinking – Enhancing higher education on COmplex SYstems Thinking for sustainable development, which took place online – using the Zoom web platform – on 16 April 2021. The European project entitled Cosy Thinking was funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, KA2 - Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education. The Cosy Thinking project was written by the project applicant Sodertorns Hogskola, based in Huddinge (Sweden), and the scientific coordinator, University of Perugia, based in Perugia (Italy) in cooperation with Pixel, also supporting the coordination of the planning process. The Cosy Thinking project aims at providing undergraduate students with competences on complex systems thinking and academic lecturers and managerial staff with knowledge, skills and tools for adapting their educational activities with a specific focus on sustainable development by integrating complex systemic thinking. The second meeting aimed to discuss the results of the activities carried out up until now. More specifically the partners presented the almost 500 identified and reviewed publications and the best practice in dealing with complexity at the Higher Education level. The meeting also provided the partners with the possibility to brainstorm on the benchmark to be used to analyze the good practice on how complex systems issues are approached in existing undergraduate courses.
