The essential support systems at CSTEP, including Human Resources, Information Technology, Administration, Finance, and Communication and Policy Engagement teams, keep the organisation running smoothly. These teams work together to provide a robust foundation for CSTEP's research and policy engagement efforts. Their collective aim is to create an efficient, collaborative environment that drives the organisation's mission forward.

The Pugh Controlled Convergence Method: Model-based evaluation and implications for design theory
This paper evaluates the Pugh Controlled Convergence method and its relationship to recent developments in design theory. Computer executable models are proposed simulating a team of people involved in iterated cycles of evaluation, ideation, and investigation.

Developing GIS tools for planning, mitigation and preparedness for large scale emergencies and disasters
Emergency and disaster management involves four stages: Mitigation (Planning), Preparedness, Response and Relief. Concerned authorities at different levels (central, state, district, etc.) play different roles and have different responsibilities in each phase of emergency and disaster management. GIS-based tools have been shown to be useful in the response and recovery phases of an emergency. In this paper, we propose how GIS-based simulation tools can be used in the Mitigation and Preparedness phases of emergencies and disasters.

Design beyond design: Design Thinking & Design Acting
In essence this paper seeks to answer the question: what are the essential elements of
designing as a human activity that makes it possible to transfer these skills and attitudes
beyond the world of design?
The Flip Side of Metcalfe’s Law: Multiple and Growing Costs of Network Exclusion
The study of networks and network science has grown in the last decade, but most network models fail to capture the costs or loss of value of exclusion from the network. Intuitively, as a network grows in size and value, those outside the network face growing disparities. This new direction is relevant too for the design of policy interventions as well as for shifting the scholarly research agenda toward greater focus on inequality and exclusion.
