Updated:2022-11-14

From 12 to 13 November, 2022, the 6th China System Science Conference (CSSC2022) was held in Shanghai. The conference was co-hosted by Shanghai Institute of Systems Science and the Steering Committee of China System Science Conference, and organized by University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) in association with  the Institute of Systems Science of the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the School of Systems Science of Beijing Normal University, the Institute of Systems Science and Engineering of the Department of Transportation of Beijing Jiaotong University, the School of Science of the University of National Defense Technology, the Autonomous Intelligent Unmanned Systems Science Center of Tongji University, the Chinese Society of Systems Engineering and the Professional Committee of Control Theory of China Automation Society. Academician Guo Lei of the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor Ding Xiaodong, President of USST, were the Presidents of the Conference.

With the purpose of creating systems science and promoting the discipline construction of systems science, the China System Science Conference open discussions around system methodology, system evolution, system cognition, system regulation, system engineering and related disciplines, providing a cross disciplinary and high-level platform for the inter-exchange among Chinese and foreign scholars in systems science. The conference attracted more than 2,000 experts or scholars from 122 universities and research institutions across China, who participated in the conference in an either offline and online manner.

Academician Guo Lei, Chairman of the Conference, delivered a speech. He stated that, within the framework of worldview and methodology derived from the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era , it is of great significance to emphasize the concept of system thinking when the world is going through momentous changes unseen in a century. Complex systems science has become the frontier of science and technology development. In this context, in order to meet the challenges of science and technology and economic and social development to system science, the China System Science Conference has been shouldering the important task of engaging young people into the field of system science and promoting exchanges among scholars of system science across the country.
