Final workshop "Multi agent Simulation for consequential Life Cycle Assessment of Agrosystems" (MUSA)

On 9 March 2016, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) organizes the final workshop of the research project MUSA (Multi agent Simulation for consequential Life Cycle Assessment of Agrosystems). It will take place at LIST's premises in Belvaux.

The workshop is divided in two sections:

• The morning session will host two keynote speakers. The first talk will present methodology and case studies related to agent-based models specifically designed and applied to steer policy decision. The second talk will deal with a specific architecture of agent-based models.
• The afternoon session will present the results of the project with a feedback of the project team, including a demonstration of the web application.

About the project

MUSA - a project supported by the National Research Fund, Luxembourg - aims at assessing the environmental consequences of possible scenarios in the Luxembourgish agricultural sector. To do so MUSA took into account more than just the economic driver; it also considered environmental constraints and, to some extent, the behavioural component of the farmers’ decision-making process.
