Scientific Publications  Dr. Dorien DeTombe (MSc. Ph.D.)

Dorien DeTombe developed the COMPRAM methodology for handling Complex Societal Policy Problems & Issues

and the founding father of the field of Methodology of Societal Complexity

 

       The methodology Compram is used in:

The methodology Compram is used as a  part of the curriculum in the Netherlands at the University of Utrecht at the Department of Statistics and Methodology in the Bachelors Program; University of Utrecht at the Department of Sustainable Development in the Masters Program; University of Maastricht at the Healthcare Program in the Masters Program and in the University of Wageningen in the Agricultural  PhD. Program of the research school Ceres. The methodology is taught in many other universities outside The Netherlands: USA University of New York; University of Connecticut (East and Central), Canada: University of Concordia, South Africa, Technical University of Durban, University of Capetown , Asia: Turkey: Middel East Technical University, China: China, Beiijng: Academy of Science, Japan University of Technology

see for more information invited lectures.

 

Dorien DeTombe applied the methodology Compram on subjects of: how to handle complex societal problems and policy issues on the subject of sustainable development, economy, on global safety like terrorism, flood, disaster, risk, healthcare, HIV/AIDS, SARS, flu pandemic, on urban research, future planning, credit crisis, climate change, global safety, and on changes in organizations. The point of view of the resarch is mainly on meta level, policy making see publications.
