AGMEMOD Training 2025

Date: June 17-20, 2025
Location: The Hague, The Netherlands

Wageningen University and Research (WUR) and the Thünen Institute (THÜNEN) are pleased to invite you to the next edition of the AGMEMOD training course which is scheduled on June 17-20, 2025. The training course will happen at our WUR premises located in the Hague.

The aim of the training course is to assist AGMEMOD ‘modellers-to-be’ in the process of getting acquaintance with the model. This workshop is also a good opportunity to promote the interaction and the exchange of knowledge/experience within the members of the AGMEMOD consortium. This 4-day training course will address the following topics: (i) type of research  and policy questions for which the model can be used; (ii) data needs and handling; (iii) equation sets and model structure; and (iv) modelling scenarios; including running the model and analysing its outputs. The course will combine learning by doing/ hands-on sessions, guided by experienced AGMEMOD modellers; with several plenary sessions on the general AGMEMOD framework.

The organization of this event is financially supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe projects Tools4CAP, BrightSpace and ACT4CAP27. There is no fee for participating in the training. However, participants have to cover their own travel, accommodation and meals.

AGMEMOD Training 2023

From 20 to 24 November, the "AGMEMOD Training 2023" was hosted by the Thünen Institute in Braunschweig. 23 participants were intensively trained in the application of the AGMEMOD model for making projections of agricultural and food markets and for policy impact assessment.

The AGMEMOD model has been used for more than 20 years to project future developments on the agricultural and food markets. It is also used to analyse the effects of policy changes. There is great interest in this tool, as the number of participants in the AGMEMOD Training 2023 shows. In total, 23 participants from 12 countries attended the event and received intensive training from the AGMEMOD teams of the Thünen Institute and Wageningen Economic Research (WEcR). Additional financial support was provided by the EU projects BrightSpace  and Tools4CAP.
The programme offered something for everybody: the basics of using the AGMEMOD model were explained, as well as tips and tricks for advanced users, and the latest model developments were presented. The opportunities for informal discussions and networking were well received, leading to the conclusion: "It's better in person!"
