ERASME

The Centre's focus lies on systems thinking approaches and system dynamics modelling for sustainable development covering a broad range of topics in the social, economic and environmental domains of sustainability (e.g. energy systems, agricultural systems, natural resources, socioeconomic systems, circular economy, sustainable cities). The methodological approach is integrative and inter- and transdisciplinary. The overall vision is to facilitate sustainable system development within and beyond Europe through research, educational and networking activities. On-going projects are on city modelling in collaboration with the International Michelin City Network and sustainable energy system development within the region of Mond'Averne, both part of the "IAM-LOOP" (Integrated Assessment Modelling for Living on One Planet) initiative. The ERASME team is also developing a system dynamics model to track the progress towards the SDG targets for France, based on the iSDG model.
