The organizing committee for the next openmod workshop invites you to attend the upcoming meeting in Vienna/Laxenburg hosted by the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment program.
The event is organized jointly with a capacity-building & training event supported by the Horizon 2020 projects ECEMF, NAVIGATE and ENGAGE. The first day (Wednesday, March 22) will consist of several sessions on modelling, tools and best-practice-examples of scenario analysis.
The second and third days (Thursday/Friday, March 23/24) will follow the usual structure of openmod workshops, featuring lightning talks, a poster session, and several break-out sessions for do-a-thons.
With this schedule, we hope the workshop will be interesting and relevant for the broader openmod & energy modelling community. Participation in the capacity-building sessions is optional. We will provide broadcasting options (via Zoom) for the capacity-building sessions and the plenary sessions, but the event is intended primarily as an in-person meeting.
The IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment program (ECE) will financially support the workshop, so that we do not need to collect a registration fee. We will be able to welcome up to 50 participants. We ask anyone interested to participate in the capacity-building sessions and/or openmod workshop to register until Monday January 29, 9am, at
https://forms.office.com/e/f1eTWJ7Bhe. If more than 50 colleagues express interest to participate, we will allocate slots ensuring a broad representation of research groups, geographical regions, and research interests. In order to broaden the audience of the workshop, we will reserve 15 seats for first-time participants, that is, people who have never participated in an openmod workshop before.
Over the next weeks, we will initiate a process to propose topics for do-a-thons via the forum.
