The recording of the EU Conference on modeling policy support is
online
The conference brought together researchers and policymakers to
identify common challenges and solutions when using models to support
policymaking. Models are extensively used to analyse the
environmental, economic, and social impacts of policies and the
European Commission continuously uses them throughout their process of
creating and implementing policy. 

Following the EU Open Data Days, the Publications Office contributed
with the session on ‘Highlights from the EU Open Data Days
[https://op.europa.eu/en/web/euopendatadays]: how open data can
support policy-making' on Friday, 26 November. It brought open data as
key enabler to be integrated into models to improve evidence-based
decision-making. The session highlighted the main outcomes from the EU
Open Data Days explaining the potential of this valuable asset.
