The Systems Research Team met in Linz, Austria, this past April for the 2014 IFSR (International Federation for Systems Research) Conversation. The team worked together to explore questions related to the question, "What distinguishes Systems Research from other forms of research?" Stay tuned for publication of the team's outcomes and be sure to check out the IFSR website at http://www.ifsr.org/.
