Sarah Hilfiker spent nearly two weeks in Freising within an STSM.
PROCLIAS-ISIMIP water quality workshop
Finally, a new water quality sector is in the plan for the Intersectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP). Following this new effort, several activities were organized within the framework of the COST Action PROCLIAS. Between the 30th and 31st of August roughly 50 participants (40 on-site and around 10 online), met at the Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands.

Riccardo Testolin spent four weeks of his postdoctoral fellowship in Potsdam with the group coordinated by Christopher Reyer to work of forest ecosystem modelling at the European scale in 2021.
Virtual Mobility Grant – Coordinating efforts to create kilometer scale climate forcing data for impact models
During summer 2021, Senior researcher Dirk Karger from the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL, used a virtual mobility grant is to coordinate efforts in providing standardized, kilometer scale climate data for use in impact studies within the ISIMIP framework with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Change Impact Studies (PIK). During the 3-month duration of the VM Grant, we implemented several parts of this effort.
