<H2>Event Details</H2>
GSI Research Strategy Workshop
Wednesday 15 November 2017, 10:30 - 15:30, Conference Room 2, Innovation Centre, Streatham Campus. 
<H2>Event Overview</H2>
The ambition is for the GSI to be world-leading in understanding global changes, solving global challenges, and helping create a flourishing future world together, through transformative research and education. The GSI aims to become a ‘go to’ place for global change researchers from around the world, bringing them together with industry, policymakers, students and other stakeholders to tackle shared problems, and acting as a catalyst that enables translation of this research into applications that deliver tangible and sustainable social and ecological benefit.
GSI will be distinctive in uniting a trans-disciplinary group of researchers to look beyond single ‘environmental’ issues to a truly systemic view of coupled global changes in the human social and economic sphere and the biosphere.
The GSI aims to better predict global changes through understanding the interactions between the climate, natural ecosystems, human social and economic systems, and the built environment. This will require advancing the state of the art in modelling the Earth system and its sub-systems, including social, economic and engineered (social-ecological) systems. It also requires the full range of experimental, observational and action research traditions across disciplines. We will apply that understanding and modelling capability to identify transformative solutions to the global challenges faced by humankind, providing societies with an appraisal of the options to create a better future together.
