Wicked Science Program

Are you interested in tackling problems that don’t have easy answers? Wicked science is the study of how to tackle wicked problems.

Wicked problems encompass a wide range of local, national, and global challenges that require transdisciplinary collaboration as we seek more equitable and sustainable resolutions and outcomes. Wicked scientists use tools such as interdisciplinary approaches, collaboration, systemic thinking, and holistic views to address wicked problems such as deforestation and industrial pollution which frequently have global implications.
