» Analysis of uncertainty management
top-up scholarship may be available
As modelling and algorithm plays an growing role in decision making for both government and the private sector, uncertainty has become an increasingly prominent topic. There are a wide variety of ways of addressing uncertainty, but scientists, analysts and decision makers are not always able to choose the most appropriate ones. Projects would examine how uncertainty is currently managed in specific case studies and possible improvements. This topic provides an opportunity to learn about both current and cutting edge uncertainty management. Through collaboration, it also provides an opportunity to help understand and shape future decision making.
Pre-requisites
While methods can be tailored to the case, an inclination towards or experience with qualitative research methods and content analysis is desirable. Experience with argument analysis or discourse analysis is also a plus.
