Agent-based modeling is a tool to understand how the dynamics of social and biological complex systems arise from the characteristics and behaviours of the agents making up these systems. Students will learn how agent-based modelling can be used as a tool of research in political science, political economy and biology. Find the course description.

The conference will take place at the University of Oslo on November 22-23. The goal of the 2012 conference is articulated in the title: to advance research and policy agendas on sustainable energy and the environment.
With a point of departure in a current writing project, this workshop will take students systematically through the most problematic areas of scholarly writing. The focus is on the document level – that is, audience, core argument and structure – rather than the sentence level.

Participants will learn about the genre and how to succeed in writing good feature articles. The workshop leader, experienced journalist Ingrid Stolpestad will also provide useful tips on how to proceed to increase the chance of publication of your work.

In spite of the availability of new renewable energy sources and techno-scientific capabilities, very few resources have been transformed into economic production. The seminar will approach the innovation of new technology, the system in its formative phase, emphasizing how actors, technology, markets and institutions co-evolve.

Hvordan kan teknologien bringe oss framover, og hvordan kan Norge som en energinasjon møte utfordringer i utenrikspolitikken? UiO ønsker at naturvitenskap, jus, samfunnsfag og humaniora kobles sammen for å finne svarene på hvordan nye og velkjente energiformer kan brukes i et komplekst samfunn og et sårbart miljø. Gjennom utdanning, forskningssamarbeid og åpen formidling av forskning håper UiO å bidra med svarene.
This seminar series will present different approaches to and experiences of interdisciplinary research. The seminar series consists of three separate events, the last of which will be held on March 26th.

Interdisciplinarity is a well-worn word in science, politics, and media. Many intercultural and interdisciplinary attempts, though of pivotal importance in a globalized world, are fizzling out due to diverse reasons. In many cases, ancillary financial conditions were not guaranteed over periods long enough to let real interdisciplinarity grow far enough, because it is difficult to explain to funding agencies why experts should be granted time and money for interactions which are not in their central fields of expertise. It has to emphasize that successful interdisciplinary interaction is more laborious and time-consuming and not just avocation.
Note! For the interdisciplinary seminar series, you may register for a one-to-one discussion with the lecturers. Indicate when you register, if you would like to register for a one-to-one discussion with R. Nesper.

In this talk, Bartiaux will present, and open to discussion, two different multi-disciplinary research projects that she led on energy and environment issues. In the first case, quite different disciplines were involved, namely sociology and engineering, and were sequentially used in the research. The second case is a more conceptual research and brought together at each step of the study (and for each sentence of the paper produced!) a sociologist, a philosopher and an anthropologist, thus from closer disciplines.

Arresting environmental deterioration and achieving sustainable energy represent some of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. To take on this challenge we need to engage in interdisciplinary research, research that combines technical, political and social and environmental perspectives.
