2019年04月12日上午，加拿大皇家科學院Keith W Hipel教授應邀在将軍路校區ag真人百家家乐平台1号樓403會議室做題為“Expanding Cooperation with China in Environmental Science and Systems Engineering”的學術報告。報告由ag真人百家家乐平台副校長兼ag真人百家家乐平台院長姜斌教授主持，ag真人百家家乐平台及經濟與管理學院部分師生參加了報告會。

Hipel教授自1982年第一次到訪中國以來，訪問中國已逾六十次，共計訪問了三十餘所高校。在過去四十年裡，他指導了七十餘位來自中國的研究人員，在決策方法和水環境研究方面與中國有着密切的合作關系。

首先，Hipel教授在開場先進行了有獎問答環節，問題設置為曆史上重要的科學革新以及相應的科學家的相關知識，此環節不僅起到了暖場作用也讓大家對創新有了更深刻的認識，激發了大家對未知的探索欲。

而後，Hipel教授講解了他在水環境研究方面所做的主要工作。Hipel教授針對矛盾沖突該如何解決的問題詳細的闡述了沖突分析圖模型（GMCR）。沖突分析圖模型是在經典對策論和偏對策理論基礎上發展起來的一種對沖突行為進行正規分析的決策分析方法。Hipel教授對沖突分析圖模型的介紹主要集中在五個方面：偏好信息、穩定性概念、穩定後分析、應用研究及其未來展望。充分論述了沖突分析圖模型在解決社會熱點沖突問題具有重要的實際應用價值。

最後，Hipel教授與到場的師生進行了交流互動，耐心解答了師生們所提出的學術問題并與到會師生代表合影。
