In this episode of the NUPI podcast The World Stage, Cedric de Coning (NUPI) sits down with Dirk Bruin and Tomas Veloz of the Center Leo Apostel for Transdisciplinary Studies of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (CLEA), to discuss the development of a computational decision-support tool, called the Adaptive Peace Simulation (APS).
