This workshop aims at people with knowledge and/or interest in climate and energy policies on the one hand and an interest in learning about Crowd-sourcing efforts and network mapping on the other. It is organized within the EU research project SIMPOL in cooperation with Graph Commons.

Participants will learn how to use crowd sourcing and network mapping tools, in particular Graph Commons, for a specific purpose. Two case studies will  be used for the workshop: the policy process around the EU climate and energy framework (2030 targets) and energy projects in Turkey.
