*Reminder: call for abstracts open until _30 June_*
The Competence Centre on Modelling of the Joint Research Centre of the
European Commission is organising the *EU Conference on Modelling for
Policy support*
<https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/event/conference/eu-conference-modelling-policy-support>**(*Brussels,
26 – 27 November 2019). *
The Conference will bring together *researchers* and *policy makers*
involved in modelling activities from the Commission, European and
international institutions and agencies, Member States, Universities,
research institutes and consultancies.
Its aim is to identify common challenges and solutions in the *use of
models to support policy making*.

*Keynote speakers*
* Mechthild Wörsdörfer
<https://www.iea.org/about/leadership/content/Worsdorfer.pdf>,
International Energy Agency. /Use of models for policy applications/
* Klaus Jacob

*Call for papers*
Authors need to submit an *extended abstract*of maximum 2 pages (1000
words) in English *by 30 June 2019*. Acceptance will be notified by 6
September, 2009.
Contributions are expected to cover model development and use for
*policy development, assessment and implementation *in the EU and in the
Member States. They can refer for example to one or more of the following:
* Reference scenarios, model linkages and data for policy
* Integrated assessment modelling
* Complex system modelling and multicriteria decision making
* Ensuring model transparency and quality, including sensitivity and
uncertainty analysis
* Combination of qualitative and quantitative methods
* Communication and visualization of model results
The contributions should focus on *policy areas* characterized by
frequent use of models in support to policy making in the EU, such as
agriculture, economics, energy, environment, transport, climate and
risk. The submission of papers related to other policy fields is also
possible.
Abstracts should clearly indicate the *relevance and implications for
model development and use in support to policy*. In particular, it
should be clear how the work contributes to*learning *for the *modelling
community*.
Reference to *concrete experiences*, as well as the direct involvement
of both *scientists* and *policy makers* in the presentation, is an
asset. The abstracts can foresee hands on demonstrations.
