Hello Cyberneticians

We are now coming up to the beginning of Relating Systems Thinking and Design (RSD11): Possibilities and Practices of Systemic Design hosted online and in person at the University of Brighton, and I thought I'd write to update the list and to highlight the cybernetics aspects of the programme.

We have had a fantastic response to the call, and the overall programme has over 100 papers, over 30 workshops, and a number of other special interactive sessions and threads. Overall, the theme of the event is to question the emerging shape of systemic design as it continues to develop. 

We've designed the conference to be an even balance between online and in person experiences, with almost all sessions available in both modes.

We have kept online registration fees in particular as low as possible (£85/£40), and there is still time to register. As well as the online ticket there are still a small number of in person tickets available (£330/£230) - please register as soon as possible to secure one of these. Navigate to this link to register and for details of the programme, and follow the links at the top of the page: https://rsdsymposium.org/

We have kept this cost to a minimum because we recognise that attending online is often to attend only in part because of time zones and other commitments, and we want to price this so it is good value even if you are only able to attend particular sessions (and of course you can attend everything!). We also have made selected sessions available for free, without registering (see below).

There are several parts of the programme - 

RSDX 3-9 October (Free)

Starting next week we have selected online sessions available for free, without registering for the whole event, which you and your students may be interested in. 


In particular there are a number of online sessions available for free during next week that you may be interested in (times are British Summer Time) and three of these have a focus in cybernetics
There are several other events in this series - browse these here: RSDX Relating Systems Thinking & Design Symposium | Eventbrite
