Have you heard about Complex Systems and Policy? During this new Master's programme, students bridge the gap between data analysis and policymaking, while creating a meaningful impact on real-world issues. It draws from a variety of academic fields, including social sciences, data science, and modelling.

With the launch of Complex Systems and Policy, the UvA is responding to a growing demand within the professional field. Elisabeth IJmker, a curriculum developer at IIS, explains: “We focus on specific societal challenges such as the energy transition and health inequality. For example, data and models show health differences between residents of Amsterdam Zuidoost and those living in the city centre. While new data analyses provide better information, proper policymaking is needed to create real change. This programme is designed to train these policymakers.” 

Are you curious to learn more? Join the extra information session on 22 April, from 17:00 – 18:00 CET on Zoom. Get a short introduction to the programme, an interactive lecture about complexity, and ask your final questions.
