WISE aims 1) to improve decision making over wicked socio-environmental disruptions and the evaluation of decision outcomes, and 2) to build-up resilience and adaptation to wicked socio-environmental disruptions with decision support. WISE develops and tests a new national-level integrative policy mechanism, Policy Operations Room (POR), which has the capacity to design rapid, evidence-based and long-term adaptation policies to unexpected socio-environmental disruptions with multiple drivers and impacts. POR consists of war-room-like simulation exercises in which participants mimic how they would decide in a real-life disruption. POR draws on national and international experts to develop a test bed for integrating rapid and far-sighted science advice to the most complex policy challenges facing a small and transnationally exposed nation state like Finland.
