No advanced mathematical skills are required as this is an applied course. Learning Goals Knowledge & Understanding background on political decision-making in medium-large actor settings, understand the core inputs & outputs of a prediction model, and decision-making on EU climate policies, esp. carbon removals. Applying, Analyzing &Evaluating undertake predictions of multi-actor negotiations for a hitherto unresolved challenge of sustainability policy, agree, among students and facilitated by the instructors, on standardized position input scales as relevant to utilizing a policy prediction software, and research, execute, and evaluate your own simulation model runs. Competences Students develop their own research strategy amendable to using policy prediction tools, e.g., for subsequent use in their thesis as well as in a corporate or political context, and work individually as well as in groups on a diverse set of assignments. close

This seminar will introduce students to the Predictioneer’s Game, an applied model of multi-party decision-making. Subsequently, students will apply their modeling skills to specific political decisions on sustainability. The domain of application for the decision forecasts will be European-level decisions on Carbon Removals. The language of instruction is English. close
