Would you like to explore the potential of System Dynamics modelling?

We are happy to announce, that the COASTAL project will participate in the Rural Vision Week organised by the European Network for Rural Development (ENRD), in close cooperation with the European Commission.

Over the last months, we have been working hard to convert the qualitative causal loop diagrams that were developed jointly with stakeholders during sectorial and multi-sector workshop in 2018 and 2019, into quantitative models based on System Dynamics (SD).

Key problems addressed in system dynamics (SD) modelling for MAL3 were identified.

On 17&18 March Belgian Offshore Days, a virtual conference is organised as part of the Inn2POWER final event.

Gialova wetland is a multifunctional ecosystem, which is located at the core of the SW Messinia case study.

The Belgian coastal region is trying to forsee how to tackle the multifunctional use of space and the accompanying competition.

Practice Abstracts of the COASTAL project are available on the EIP-Agri website.

COASTAL was one of the thirteen projects funded by the European Commission introduced in the book “The Ocean Of Tomorrow” vol.2.

From July 2020 to December 2020 the stakeholders, actor and research partners involved in the Belgian Multi-Actor Lab (MAL) collaborated intensely to further develop their models and collect the supporting data.

MAL 5 development of the COSTAL project for the second semester of 2020, included activities related to Knowledge Transition, SD modelling of coastal-rural interactions and dissemination of results achieved so far.

Over the past few months, the MAL4 team has worked to develop dynamic models as part of the Land Sea system and to collect the supporting data, using different sources of information and previous work in the area.
