From Monday through Wednesday, the Landuse Transition Lab welcomed a total of 56 participants—35 attending online and 21 participating in person. During the workshop, attendees were introduced to the MAgPIE and MADRaT models.
The participant group was notably international, including 15 individuals from Brazil, 10 from Germany, 7 from China, 6 from India, 3 each from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, 2 each from Finland and the United States, and 1 participant each from Denmark, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Portugal, and Sweden.
In addition to the core workshop sessions, which focused on the structure and functionality of the MAgPIE model, the event featured a "Stories" segment. In this portion, MAgPIE users from China, India, Portugal, Austria, and Germany shared insights into their applications of the model, offering participants a glimpse into ongoing research and real-world use cases involving MAgPIE.
Workshop host and Landuse Transition Lab co-lead Jan-Philipp Dietrich says: "This year’s workshop was by far the largest we’ve ever hosted. It was inspiring to see such strong interest in our work from researchers around the world. With the upcoming COP taking place in Brazil, we were especially pleased to welcome so many Brazilian colleagues to the workshop."
