Revision as of 16:57, 12 February 2025

Yiannis Laouris, 2024-2026 President of the International Society for the Systems Sciences, is a social and business entrepreneur, known for his socially responsible work and scientific contributions in the fields of peace, dialogue, and democracy. As one of the founding members of the Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group in 1995[1], Laouris designed and implemented dozens of peace and reconciliation projects over several decades [2], [3], [4], [5]. He is co-founder of the first bicommunal peace radio[6] and of the Technology for peace [7] initiative.

Biography

Son of teacher Christodoulos Laouris, he lived and attended schools in various districts of Cyprus including The English School, Nicosia, the Pancyprian Gymnasium and the Acropolis Gymnasium. He served in the Cypriot National Guard as the first Cypriot senior cryptographer in the Headquarters after the Military coup in Cyprus of the Greek military junta and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. Laouris graduated the medical school of the Leipzig University in Germany. He was awarded a PhD in Neurophysiology with summa cum laude by the Carl Ludwig Institute of Physiology (with Peter Schwartze) a few weeks before graduating the medical school, an achievement publicized in many district and national German and Greek Cypriot newspapers as he was the first student to be awarded a PhD before graduation[8]. He continued his research in neurophysiology at the Georg-August University of Göttingen with cyberneticists and systems physiologists Professors Hans Diedrich Henatsch and Uwe Windhorst. He was then invited by Douglas G. Stuart to join the Department of Neurophysiology of the University of Arizona. Later in his life he also completed a Master's and a PhD in Systems and Industrial Engineering.

Scientific Contributions

Laouris is credited for the discovery the dialogic design Law of Requisite Action [9], [10], which asserts that action plans that are not founded on the authentic engagement of the stakeholders in dialogue and deliberation are unethical and are bound to fail. Together with Norma Romme, they stablished the Structured Democratic Dialogue methodology as Problem Structuring Method [11], [12] thus contributing to the development of community operational research [13] [14] [15].

Laouris is one of 12 experts commissioned to draft the ONLINFE Manifesto [16] [17] for Europe [18] [19] and co-presented it in the European Parliament [20]

In his early career,in the late eighties and nineties, Laouris applied Digital signal processing in time and frequency domains to single-cell recordings from experimental animals to study transmission properties and fatique of cat motor neurons, muscle afferents and Renshaw cells. Together with Uwe Windhorst they applied and explored relations between linear and non-linear characteristics in the behavious of neurons <ref>Christakos et al. 1987; Cleveland & Ross 1977; Laouris & Windhorst 1987)<ref>Gottlieb, G. L., Corcos, D. M., & Agarwal, G. C. (1989). Strategies for the control of voluntary movements with one mechanical degree of freedom. Behavioral and brain sciences, 12(2), 189-210.
