The European Commission Competence Centre on Modelling (CC-MOD) is organising the second biennial EU Conference on modelling for policy support. The event will take place during the week of 22 – 26 November 2021.

The Conference will bring together researchers and policymakers from European and international institutions, Member States, universities, research institutes and consultancies to identify common challenges and solutions when using models to support policymaking across all policy domains.

The GEO Mountains General Meeting on 30 November 2021 will serve as a platform for exchange, bringing participants up to speed on recent developments at GEO Mountains and inviting discussion on the activities of Task Groups. GEO Mountains participants will also provide key updates on ongoing projects that could contribute to the objectives of GEO Mountains.

This virtual event will be held on Zoom from 14:00-16:00 CET on 30 November 2021. The meeting will provide an opportunity for the initiative co-leads and scientific officer to share recent activities and future plans with the community, as well as discuss possibilities for collaboration and engagement.

The conference actively supports mountain research, as well as the exchange among disciplines to gather and shape all available puzzle pieces.

Co-organised by Euromontana, the European Association of Mountain Areas and Cia-Agricoltori Italiani, the 12th European Mountain Convention is set to take place in the Natural Park & Biosphere Reserve of Sila, Calabria, Italy. The Convention aims to define a sustainable strategy for the development of smart mountains by providing the basis for more integrated and effective public policies, contributing to the sustainable development of mountain areas and the quality of life of mountain communities.
