Hae mukaan: Good Practice Workshop - Exploring the potential of simulation models for assessing the CAP

The EU CAP Network supported by the European Evaluation Helpdesk for the CAP is organising the ninth Good Practice Workshop on “Exploring the potential of simulation models for assessing the CAP” in Bari, Italy on 3 – 4 April 2025, kindly hosted by the Italian CAP Network.

Registration is open up until Friday 14 March 2025.

Background

Simulation models are quantitative tools used to represent complex systems and predict their behaviour under different scenarios. They are particularly useful for estimating the potential impacts of policy interventions across a wide array of economic, social and environmental topics.

In agriculture, their main purpose is to analyse the effects of parameter changes on outcomes. They help to explain why certain outcomes, e.g. change in organic farming area, may be expected when a policy changes, e.g. a higher rate of support for organic farming. Depending on their complexity, simulation models can be very specific, e.g. show where farmers switch to organic farming and how output-prices are affected. In other cases, they can show only rudimentary results, e.g. show the output change of organic farming in the whole economy.

Member States are encouraged to use simulation models in their CAP evaluations, as these allow to assess the impact of new policy measures and the net impact of existing measures. In addition, simulation models may be useful for closing data gaps when implementation data is not available.

Objectives of the Workshop

The aim of the ninth Good Practice workshop is to showcase the possibilities offered by using simulation models for evaluating the CAP, as well as the conditions for implementing them. The specific objectives are

  • to contribute to building the understanding of CAP evaluation stakeholders about simulation models, including the scope, relevance, and use of such models for evaluations of the CAP,
  • to exchange practical experiences from the use of simulation models in the context of CAP evaluations and other relevant projects (Horizon, JRC, research/academic institutes),
  • to provide an opportunity for networking and identification of needs for further support for Managing Authorities, Paying Agencies, CAP networks and evaluators in relation to the use of simulation models for evaluations of the CAP.

Target Audience

The Workshop will be an opportunity for Managing Authorities, Paying Agencies, evaluators, CAP networks and EU-level evaluation experts, as well as other evaluation stakeholders in the Member States, to exchange with each other. Researchers and experts with experience in using simulation models will also be present to provide their specialised input. The working language for all aspects of the Workshop (e.g. presentations, Q&As, interactive group work, potential side-activities) will be English, and participants are expected to interact in this language.
