= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in  groups on do-a-thons addressing specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Do-a-thons should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Zurich 2018

2018-05-03T07:14:09Z

Tim Tröndle: /* Other things to see and do in Zürich and around */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

This wiki page will continue to be updated with more information as the programme is developed. Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Tim Tröndle:

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

This wiki page will continue to be updated with more information as the programme is developed. Do also sign up to the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 8th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place at '''ETH Zürich, Switzerland,''' from '''6-8 June 2018'''.

The primary workshop location will be [http://www.mapsearch.ethz.ch/map/map.do?gebaeudeMap=CHN&lang=en ETH Zürich's CHN building], a 5 minute walk from the Zurich main railway station and close to the city center.

This wiki page will be updated with more information soon. Registrations for the workshop are not yet open.

In the meantime, feel free to sign up for the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] or [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding open energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-03-28T11:01:23Z

Tim Tröndle: /* General Scientific Computing Entry Level */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming Sixth Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place in '''Frankfurt, Germany''' hosted by the [https://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/en/ Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies] (see [[Events|Events]] for previous workshops). The workshop will take place on '''20-21 April 2017''', with an optional tutorial day before on 19 April 2017. Since the workshop is run by volunteers, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a programme and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the programme. In the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-03-17T10:48:35Z

Tim Tröndle: /* Day 1: Optional Tutorials (Wednesday 19th April 2017) */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming Sixth Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place in '''Frankfurt, Germany''' hosted by the [https://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/en/ Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies] (see [[Events|Events]] for previous workshops). The workshop will take place on '''20-21 April 2017''', with an optional tutorial day before on 19 April 2017. Since the workshop is run by volunteers, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a programme and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the programme. In the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fifth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-roots organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin, one in London and one in Stockholm, the next one will be in '''Milano, Italy hosted by the [http://www.energia.polimi.it/english/index.php? Politecnico di Milano – Department of Energy (Mi Bovisa branch)]'''.The workshop takes place on '''27-28 October, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join! 

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed. 

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop! 

 

The bulk of the workshop consists of breakout groups, where specific topics are discussed and worked upon. People can suggest breakout topics in advance, but to keep the workshop fluid and adaptable, topics can also be suggested on the day.
