Navigating Uncertainty: Simulation as a Tool for Policy Innovation

This webinar, in partnership with the University of Central Florida, will explore the potential development of policy modeling capabilities to better leverage the Department of Defense’s modeling & simulation (M&S) capacity and inform policy decision making for defense and other issues. Through a panel discussion featuring policy and M&S experts and a Q&A session, we will investigate current examples of successful policy modeling, areas with high potential for modeling to have impact on decision makers, and benefits that could be accrued through the use of policy modeling in new areas.
