Policy Support Systems

policysupport.org is home to a range of web-based policy support systems developed by King's College London and AmbioTEK CIC with a range of partners as specified for each system.  The systems are based on the common ecoengine framework for developing web based policy support systems (AmbioTEK) and SimTerra databases (AmbioTEK and King's College London) but are very varied in their focus.  Click the links for more information on and to access these systems.
