    <h3>SDM &ndash; DIH integration bridge</h3>
    <p>This page provides some showcase ideas about visualization of SDM model outputs in various points in time.
      SDM is a System Dynamics Model developed as a part of the Polirural project. <a href="hub.polirural.eu">DIH</a> is
      a Digital Innovation Hub developed as another part of the Polirural project.
      Regional attractiveness is one of the tools present in the DIH.</p>

    <h3>About System Dynamics Modelling</h3>
    <p>The SDM tool can be used to simulate the impacts of different policy approaches on various KPIs in the PoliRural
      pilot regions through 2040. The outputs of this tool are highly interesting and relevant for decision-making and
      planning activities.

    <h3>About Regional Attractiveness</h3>
    <p>Attractiveness can be seen from the perspective of a farmer, a young man or woman, a businessman or a
      sociologist. As there is no singular perception of attractiveness, there cannot be a singular value representing
      it. In the Index of regional attractiveness, we emphasize the attractiveness of a region as a compound and
      relative value. Based on available statistical data about a region, each region is then assessed by several
      factors. In this showcase we differentiate social, anthropic, natural and economic factor.</p>

    Exploring New Tools to Support Regional Foresight Initiatives
  </h2>

  <div class="row mt-4 p-4">
    <p>
      From 2020 to 2022, twelve Regional Foresight exercises in the EU and neighbouring countries, provided a living
      laboratory for exploring the use of novel tools and techniques in highly participative approaches to local policy
      co-design, led by teams at regional and sub-regional level. To this end POLIRURAL teams designed and developed
      novel IT systems intended to support and enrich stakeholder engagement in those 12 regional Foresight exercises.

        One of those systems employed a wide range of Text Mining and Machine learning techniques to support the work of
        readers and researchers tasked with discovering relevant information in large libraries of documents, with a
        view to reducing the burden of work required of local leadership teams to provide stakeholders with short,
        relevant, and timely texts on complex issues that affect their region, and which may require a policy response.
        This tool is called the <a href="https://semex.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEMANTIC EXPLORER (SE)</a>.

        Our biggest effort was devoted to the use of System Dynamic Modelling or SDM, in a tool allowing normal citizens
        to explore the impact of different policy options on regional KPIs or indicators of performance. This tool is
        called the <a routerLink="/policy-options-explorer">POLICY OPTIONS EXPLORER (POE)</a>.

        Our third tool is the <a routerLink="/rural-attractiveness-explorer/about">RURAL ATTRACTIVENESS EXPLORER
          (RAE)</a>. It connects the POE to a composite Index of Rural Attractiveness (RAI), allowing users to see how
        different policy choices will play out over time in terms of their impact on the Index of Rural Attractiveness.

      An important aspect of all of this work was to better understand how one can help non-experts, as opposed to
      professional economists, statisticians, and modellers, to better understand how the world is changing, how the
      challenge of growth and development is evolving, and the range of available real-world policy options, with the
      intention of being able to take part in a meaningful and impactful local policy process.
