题 目1： Systemic Governing in the Anthropocene
主讲人1：Professor Ray Ison
主讲人1简介：
Professor Ison (a dual UK/Australian national) has international recognition and prestige within the Systems and Cybernetics academic community as evidenced by his leadership roles in the major Systems and Cybernetics societies as: President of the International Society for the Systems Sciences (2014-15); a Trustee of the American Society of Cybernetics (2008-15) and a Director of the World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics (2011-15). During 2015 Ison led two international events designed to address some of the world’s most pressing problems under the aegis of ‘Governing the Anthropocene’ – see http://isss.org/world/Berlin and http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/govan/. Through his initiative he secured funding from the VWStiftung to bring together 100 scholars plus 30 PhD students in systems and cybernetics from around the world to address the future direction and institutional arrangements for the trans-discipline which he has reframed as Cyber-systemics. He also delivered two keynote addresses. Investment has been achievable through his collaboration with Humboldt University, Berlin- see https://www.wins.hu-berlin.de/ - and because of the international recognition of the academic contributions he has made at the UK Open University since 1994 as professor of Systems.
