Welcome

Welcome to the UNESCO UniTwin Complex Systems Digital Campus as we prepare our plans for the next five years.

Roadmap 2025 - 2030

Renewal of the UNESCO mandate for CS-DC   A UNESCO UniTwin is a network of universities and organisations. Our UniTwin is working towards worldwide education and research in complex systems science. In June 2026 UNESCO formally extended the mandate of the CS-DC UniTwin. We are taking this opportunity to take forward CS-DC and its digital campus platform in an AI world.

A New AI-enabled Digital Campus   The CS-DC is a complex multilevel system. We believe that AI will impact on all organisations, requiring a complete rethink of what they are doing and how they are doing it. AI cannot be an add-on. We intend to begin our new five year mandate with a complete redesign of the CS-DC showing how AI can work with Complex Systems Science in creating new futures.

Education   AI has completely disrupted education at all levels. In the first instance CS-DC focuses on university education at bachelor's' master's and doctoral levels. Universities worldwide are struggling to adapt to the challenges of AI. CS-DC has always been committed to high quality low-cost/no-cost education. We have already begun to rethink education. The challenge is (i) how do we get ideas into people's heads?, and (ii) How can we know that the ideas are indeed in people's heads?, and (iii) what ideas should students get into their heads? For us the challenge is (iv) how do we do this as a digital campus at no cost to the learner?

Research   The new digital campus infrastructure will use AI to improve interaction and dissemination of research. Also we will create a new e-laboratory to understand better the entanglement of AI and complexity science.

Elections   In 2027 we will have elections for the officers of CS-DC.
