4th meeting - Working Group on System Dynamics for System Innovation

2 days dedicated to technical matters and policy discussions related to the POLYTRoPOS (POLYvalent model for the evaluation of TRansformative Policy Scenarios) System Dynamics model, developed by the JRC

  • Training and workshops

The Working Group brings together academic experts and policy practitioners interested in systems thinking, measurement, modelling and their applications to transformative societal outcomes in Europe and beyond. It provides a space for collective learning, reflection, and co-creation. 

The aim of the fourth meeting was to provide an update on developments in the JRC project over the past year including:
• The general macroeconomic simulation model and its new capabilities
• The data processing methodology and infrastructure for its quick & cost-effective calibration
• Participatory modelling pilot studies in Sweden (energy and energy-intensive industries) and in  Navarra, Spain (agrifood and the bioeconomy)
 

The meeting featured additional discussions around the combined use of many models and about the use of models in participatory/interactive modes, and concluded with a meeting of the Advisory Board  (by invitation only).
