"The proposed mobility measure explores new possibilities for joint research with institutions from different African countries by identifying the need of science-based analysis of the impacts of relevant (e.g. climate, environment, energy, employment, socio-economic, fiscal) policy measures on the economy and the possibilities to develop corresponding knowledge-based quantitative economic models. Further, the prospect of forming a network of researchers interested in socio-economic and environmental-economic modelling, which enhances the internationalisation of the participants’ research, will be discussed during the workshop. The highly topical issues of for example climate change and its socio-economic effects are not limited by territorial borders. In this international research group on economic modelling, possible policy measures aiming at the mitigation of negative socio-economic effects of climate change can be analysed, compared and best options can be identified. Project partners can exchange their experiences regarding the theoretical development of economic models as well as their practical application and the resulting policy options. Through this international exchange of knowledge the researchers are able to provide science-based and practical decision support for policy makers. The project is divided into three phases: preparation, mobility and future collaboration.
