Colloque - Adrienne Grêt-Régamey : Design-Science Loop for Transformative Landscape Changes

Breaking free from these lock-ins demands approaches that can open new pathways, anticipate long-term dynamics, navigate uncertainty and balance competing values across space and time. This talk will explore how bridging the silos between science and design can unlock and guide such pathways toward desirable futures.Adrienne Grêt-RegameyAdrienne Grêt-Regamey is an environmental scientist and landscape planner specializing in land system science and social-ecological modeling.
