Solving Wicked Problems

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Our philosophy: European Studies

A.The analysis of problems and possible solutions is central to designing solutions that work (comparative research approach) B.Public challenges are increasingly cross-border and transnational C.Government (“public sector”) needs to cooperate with the “private sector” and citizens to successfully implement policies D.Public challenges are complicated and emerge/develop at an exponential speed

SLIDE 15

Why is ES in Twente different?

  • The University of Twente is a university of

technology

  • Technological solutions are created on

campus (robots, drones, ICT solutions, health technology, infrastructure)

  • At the UT students will learn the value of

these technologies, and

  • will learn the challenges of societal

implementation of technology

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Future world leaders & designers of solutions… YOU!

  • Researchers who define these “wicked” societal problems

and think out smart solutions

  • Professionals who contribute to legitimate, efficient and

effective policies in International organizations EU institutions National ministries, Regional and local government ... Think tanks, interest groups, civil society Private and non-profit sector
