Watch the best moments from the BATModel Final conference

With BATModel coming to an end in August, all partners met face-to-face in Brussels in early July. We took the opportunity of this consortium meeting to organise a policy event to reflect on the policy-relevant results of BATModel with policy makers at EU level.

The consortium meeting brought together 34 project participants to take stock of the final project activities and to reflect on the end-of-project and post-project strategy to communicate, disseminate and exploit the final results. Many BATModel outputs will be published on the BATModel website and communicated via social media over the summer –stay tuned!

The policy event brought together 16 policy makers from the European Commission (DG TRADE & DG AGRI) and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), as well as the REA Project Advisor. Designed, organised and facilitated by the JRC (special thanks to Emanuele Ferrari), this special event presented a selection of BATModel results and highlighted the European Commission’s position on three issues: Non-Tariff Measures, Social Impacts of Trade and Progress in Simulation Modelling. A policy roundtable extended the discussion to the future of EU trade negotiations.
