The collective Royal Societies of Australia (RSA) has endorsed a proposal by The Royal Society of Queensland to run an initiative called “Identifying the pre-conditions of well-being”. The project aims to develop a model for transitioning the population to sustainable well-being, element by element, through focused essays and scientific articles. The model aims to apply scientific method systematically to a complex problem that has metaphysical, biophysical, socio-cultural, economic and governance dimensions.
In short, it aims to bridge disciplinary boundaries and bring the evidence into policy recommendations.
The forum for the first series of writings is The Mandarin national online newsletter of public administration. By mid July 2024, ten articles had appeared. Click here for a pdf with hotlinks to those ten.
The RSA is keen to hear from anyone who would like to contribute resources in one form or another – time, talents, money – to raise the profile of this initiative. Contact health AT SYMBOL royalsocietyqld.org.au.
