ABSTRACT
It is increasingly recognized that scale is a core methodological problem in many scientific fields. This is particularly true for Integrated Assessment, which operates by definition on multiple scales, both in time and space. Thus, the European Forum for Integrated Environmental Assessment (EFIEA) workshop on scaling organized by the International Centre for Integrative Studies (ICIS) in Maastricht, aimed at collecting state-of-the-art knowledge on scales from a variety of angles, was quite timely. Based on this state-of-the-art representation, the building blocks for a potential research agenda for scaling in Integrated Assessment can be defined.
