The capacity to understand complex systems and interactions between components within the research ecosystem. Researchers use this skill to collaborate across institutions, identify leverage points, and support systemic change.

This learning path on Systemic Thinking is designed to equip learners with the skills to navigate and influence complex systems effectively. Participants will explore the interconnectedness of various components within research systems, gaining the ability to recognize interdependencies that impact outcomes. Through a deep dive into stakeholder roles and structural dynamics, learners will develop the analytical skills necessary to assess and influence these elements. By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to contribute to systemic solutions across diverse sectors, applying their knowledge to foster innovation and drive sustainable change.

By the end of this learning path on Systemic Thinking, participants will be able to understand and analyze complex systems within the research ecosystem, identify and leverage interdependencies, and apply systemic approaches to drive innovation and sustainable change across diverse sectors.

Key outcomes include being able to:

• Recognize interdependencies within research systems.

• Analyze stakeholder roles and structural dynamics.
