Social complexity and system transformation

Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Ilona M. Otto, Professor of Social Consequences of Climate Change at the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change at the University of Graz, the new research group focusing on Social Complexity and System Transformation is currently being established.
