Barry Richmond Scholarship Award

Systems Thinking

The Barry Richmond Scholarship Award was established in 2007 by isee systems to honor and continue the legacy of its founder, Barry Richmond. Barry was devoted to helping others become better “Systems Citizens”. It was his mission to make Systems Thinking and System Dynamics accessible to people in all fields and professions.

The award is presented annually to a deserving Systems Thinking/System Dynamics practitioner whose work demonstrates a desire to expand the field or to apply it to current social issues. Applicants are considered based on quality of work as well as financial need and how well we believe the applicant can further Barry's mission of bringing Systems Thinking to everyone. The recipient receives a $1,000 cash scholarship to help offset the cost of attending the Annual International System Dynamics Conference in Bergen, Norway.
