MODSIM’21: Participatory Modelling workshop on Friday 10-Dec-2021 9 pm Sydney/ADST timeOur Participatory Modelling (PM) session I2, with about 18 presentations, went off very well on Tuesday 7-Dec-2021 at ModSim2021 held in Australia. We plan to have a linked workshop (virtual) on Friday 10-Dec-2021 at 9 pm ADST/Sydney time. We request all PM-CoP members to attend the workshop.

Post.doc in participatory modelingA 3-year postdoc position at ZALF would explore the use of models and model based knowledge in co-innovation processes within a larger project, lead by Frank Ewert, to better understand the demands on and roles of science in multiactor processes, or living labs, working towards sustainable agricultural landscapes.
Special Issue “Towards Sustainable Land-Water Interactions in the Anthropocene: The Role of Stakeholder Engagement and Participatory Modelling”Land, water, and society are intrinsically interconnected through the metabolism of human activity, influenced by demographic shifts and economic development, urbanization and agricultural expansion, the extraction of natural resources and the production of waste. Human activities are capable of altering how water flows through the landscape, affecting its quantity and quality at an unprecedented scale. To understand the full dimension of land-water interactions in the Anthropocene, and to use this understanding to inform management, it is therefore, necessary to integrate knowledge from fields as diverse as hydrology, soil science, human geography, economics, anthropology, law, and human behavior. There is also an increasing awareness that early and meaningful engagement of stakeholders in decision-making is essential to find successful and implementable pathways supportive of sustainable and resilient futures. Our ability to tackle this multifaceted theme in a comprehensive, robust, and systematic manner is still limited. We highly encourage submission of integrative studies that combine insights from environmental modelling and behavioral science. In doing so, this Special Issue aims to shed light on how stakeholder engagement and collaborative approaches can help disentangle the complexity of land–water–human interactions at local, national, and global levels.
