It was originally scheduled to be held at Casa da Esquina, a cultural association in Coimbra, in September of 2020, but had to be postponed to December and converted to a virtual/online format due to the COVID-19 pandemics. The coordination team was composed by Rita Campos (CES-UC), Ana Teixeira de Melo (CES-UC), Philip Garnett (York Management School e York Cross-Disciplinary Centre for Systems Analysis, University of York, UK), Leo Caves (Independent researcher, PT, collaborator of the Centre for the Philosophy of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, Associate do York Cross-Disciplinary Centre for Systems Analysis, University of York, UK). Together, they lead and integrate the central team of the project “Building Foundations for Complex Thinking to Promote Positive Change in Complex Systems” which aims at objectives aligned with those of the school.
