O SDSR
SDSR
Who we are
The Slovenian Society for Systems Research is a voluntary, professional and non-profit association of researchers, experts, practitioners and individuals united by an interest in systems and cybernetic thinking and the understanding of complex phenomena and processes.
Areas of operation
The society brings together researchers in systems theory, cybernetics and approaches derived from them, such as theories of innovation , organizational development, business cybernetics and other related scientific and practical disciplines . In addition to researchers, we also include individuals and practitioners who use systems thinking in their operations, decision-making and everyday practice.
Mission
Our fundamental mission is to promote and advance research and application of the theory and practice of systems and cybernetic thinking , acting, and behavior (TS&B). We proceed from the belief that the essence of a systems approach is integrity and in-depth consideration of complex and highly complex phenomena that cannot be understood through individual isolated parts, but through their interconnections and dynamics.
Embracing complexity
We place special emphasis on creative collaboration, especially interdisciplinary networking, as we believe that only by combining different knowledge and perspectives can we develop quality research and effective solutions to the complex challenges of the modern world . In this way , we also promote the transfer of knowledge between the research environment, practice, and the wider society.
Interdisciplinarity
The Society strives to create a space where ideas, experiences and knowledge intertwine and where new syntheses of systemic understanding emerge. Through our work , we aim to contribute to the development of science, strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation and better understanding and management of complex systems in nature, society and the economy.
Our vision
SDSR aims to become a globally recognized center of excellence that will foster transformative progress in the field of systems research and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. By cultivating a dynamic ecosystem that thrives on innovation and knowledge exchange, the association aims to place Slovenia at the forefront of cutting-edge research in the fields of complex systems, network analysis and optimization.

Society strategy
Povezovanje
Cilj društva je povezati raziskovalce, strokovnjake in organizacije, ki se ukvarjajo z raziskovanjem sistemov, z organizacijo
konferenc, seminarjev, delavnic in spletnih platform. S tem spodbuja mreženje, izmenjavo informacij in oblikovanje
interdisciplinarnih skupin.
Omogočanje
Za premagovanje omejitev virov in vrzeli v znanju in spretnostih društvo zagotavlja različne mehanizme omogočanja.
Ponuja raziskovalne štipendije, dostop do znanstvene in strokovne literature s področij sistemov, specializiranih orodij in
programe usposabljanja za krepitev moči raziskovalcev. S tem članom zagotavlja potrebna sredstva za izvajanje
visokokakovostnih sistemskih raziskav.
Učinek
Končni cilj je s sistemskimi raziskavami doseči dejanski učinek. Društvo spodbuja skupne projekte, ki obravnavajo pereče
družbene izzive, osebne in družbene odgovornosti
Sistemsko razmišljanje me je naučilo, da vse, kar oddamo v svet – misel, besedo, dejanje – po povratni zanki najde pot nazaj k nam in k drugim, zato z vsakim odzivom tiho uravnavamo ravnovesje celote. Ker sem hkrati opazovalka in del sistema, ki ga opazujem, vem, da ne moremo spremeniti vzorca od zunaj, temveč le tako, da spremenimo svoj del zanke – in prav v tem je naša najgloblja moč in modrost.

Igor Perko je izredni profesor na Ekonomsko-poslovni fakulteti Univerze v Mariboru v Sloveniji ter so-generalni direktor Svetovne organizacije za sisteme in kibernetiko (World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics, WOSC).
Njegovo zgodnje akademsko in strokovno delo je bilo usmerjeno v načrtovanje in uvajanje sistemov poslovne inteligence, napovedne analitike in obvladovanja tveganj, zlasti v finančnih in turističnih okoljih. Njegovo raziskovalno delo se razvija v smeri sistemskega razmišljanja kibernetike, multimedijo, umetno in kolektivno inteligenco ter hibridno resničnost ter te poglede združuje v KiberSistemiko. Znotraj KiberSistemiko raziskuje, kako družbeno-tehnični sistemi delujejo v fizičnih in digitalnih okoljih, s posebnim poudarkom na etiki, upravljanju in družbeni odgovornosti.
Njegovo trenutno raziskovanje se osredotoča na interakcije kot primarno enoto analize ter razvija opazovanje interakcij kot primer KiberSistemske metodologije za analizo kompleksnih sistemov. To povezuje z učenjem, podprtim z umetno inteligenco, organizacijskim odločanjem in akademskim založništvom.
Je avtor in urednik številnih znanstvenih člankov, monografij, posebnih številk revij in uredniških znanstvenih zbornikov s področij sistemske znanosti, kibernetike, informacijskih sistemov in družbene odgovornosti.

Individuals united in the society promote the research and application of the theory and practice of systems and cybernetic thinking, action and behavior. Its essence is the integrity and depth in dealing with (= understanding, researching and managing) complex and very complex phenomena and processes through creative cooperation, especially inter-professional.
The purpose and goals of the association are realized by members with the following tasks:
striving to consistently implement scientific and professional knowledge in the field of research and promotion of TS&K, which promote the development of integrity, creativity, collaboration and other abilities, values and tools for the most successful management of complex processes, phenomena and problems of various kinds;
studying the theory and practice of TS&K;
professional development of members of the association for the management of entrepreneurial, social science, technical, economic, natural science and other issues using the theory and practice of TS&K, while also organizing the exchange of professional knowledge independently or in cooperation with other professional organizations at home and abroad;
organizing congresses, symposia, consultations, seminars, lectures and other forms of professional supplementary education and transferring modern TS&K knowledge to members of the association and the general public;
cooperation with related professional organizations at home and abroad in the field of TS&K promotion and research;
self-publishing or participation in the preparation of appropriate professional literature in the field of the association's activities in accordance with the Public Media Act;
