Is your organisation grappling with a complex societal challenge in health or sustainability?
The POLDER-powered UvA Master's programme Complex Systems and Policy (CS&P) brings together exceptional researchers, innovative methods, and driven students to help you understand the root causes of your challenge and co-develop actionable solutions.
Our students combine systems thinking, data science, and modelling with stakeholder engagement. They bridge science and practice, and, in collaboration with your team, they translate complexity into concrete, innovative actionable solutions.
Some partners that already contributed to successful co-learning
Over the academic year, our interdisciplinary student teams dedicate significant time to your project, working closely with your organisation through structured feedback sessions and collaborative workshops. You'll gain access to cutting-edge research methods and UvA expertise, while students bring fresh thinking and a genuine commitment to solving your challenge. By bridging science and practice, students design interventions that align with the realities of policymaking and implementation. Whether your issue is specific or exploratory, we design a collaboration that aligns your needs with the programme's learning objectives to deliver insights that matter.
