Overview
The Energy Modelling Community (EMC) acts as a continuous support system for the alumni of Energy Modelling Platforms. By creating an ongoing network between EMP participants and instructors, the EMC ensures that alumni always have somewhere to turn with any technical queries regarding model usage. There are also opportunities for professional development aimed at preserving and enhancing their modelling skills.
EMC provides alumni with the following engagement opportunities:
- Webinar series covering the latest technical developments and applications,
- Troubleshooting sessions for specific tools,
- Clinics to present work in progress for peer feedback,
- A mentoring programme matching members at different career stages,
- Townhall meetings to allow members to shape the ongoing community,
- Regular newsletters providing updates on latest opportunities.
Besides these, the EMC also acts as a point of peer-to-peer learning, where alumni from various EMPs can interact informally, share ideas, and co-develop research.
The EMC is currently offered for OSeMOSYS, CLEWS, OnSSET and OnSTOVE, with future plans to expand coverage to MAED and FinPlan.
