In sharing his thoughts and experience, Dr. Somsak underlined the importance of having both scientific research and systems research performed in parallel. Systems research involves gathering intelligence of complex systems to support the decision-making process, implementation, as well as policy design. Success factors of systems research include the establishment of system framework, responsible organization, full-time staffers and most importantly stakeholder engagement. Systems research should be done alongside system reform. 

NXPO is embarking on a project entitled Systems Research for Transformative Changes which involves 9 topics: 1) transition to a circular economy, 2) higher education reform, 3) science, research and innovation reform, 4) innovation and entrepreneurship development, 5) food research and innovation system, 6) agricultural reform, 7) energy system of the future, 8) grassroots economic development, and 9) population and multi-stage life.
