On June 28th and 29th several members of our group participated in the workshop “Advancing quantitative analysis for alternative sustainable futures” at the Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals (ICTA) of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. We were invited particularly to present our work with Integrated Assessment Models, in particular the experience of the MEDEAS and WILIAM models.
The main objective of the workshop was to facilitate the sharing and exchange of experiences and perspectives among researchers from various groups within ICTA-UAB and GEEDS in order to deepen our understanding of the contextual backdrop of our work and to identify gaps in modeling practices as well as exploring opportunities for synergistic collaborations among different modeling perspectives. In particular, bilateral meetings were hold with the groups: IASTE, Eco2Bcn and SOSTENIPRA.
The visit was very successful and the ground was set for collaboration for ongoing and future projects.
