Virtual Mobility grant for developing Land-use data for ISIMIP3b
The main objective under this Virtual Mobility Grant was to conduct the model runs for delivery of future projections of land use patterns on a gridded spatial scale as a data product for the ISIMIP3b. The second objective was to support the coordination process with other land use models that are invited to participate and also produce gridded land use patterns under the common scenario protocol. The third objective was to work on further documenting of the common protocol of land use patterns generation and on preparing the publication of the resulting data output.
PROCLIAS WG 4 Paper Writing Workshop: Best practices on addressing typical climate impact stakeholders
From the 12th to 13th of October 2023, 22 participants convened at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Brussels. This workshop, comprised of individuals keen on stakeholder engagement and climate impact attribution assessments, aimed to foster community collaboration. The goal was to document a framework for the proactive engagement of stakeholders in climate impact attribution assessments.

PROCLIAS TG1.2 Hackathon in Utrecht
From September 12-14th (2023) in total 13 participants (2 of them online) from Greece, Germany and The Netherlands met at Utrecht University to exchange ideas and work towards a software tool to analyze ISIMIP model output. This tool can perform the analysis automatically after data submission, but can also be applied by the modelling teams and other ISIMIP data users e.g. for academic education. We started with the global water sector as proof-of-concept and to build experiences to facilitate future extension of the tool to other ISIMIP sectors.
