The EU CAP Network supported by the European Evaluation Helpdesk for the CAP organised the ninth Good Practice Workshop on “Exploring the potential of simulation models for assessing the CAP” in Bari, Italy on 3 – 4 April 2025.
The aim of the ninth Good Practice workshop was to showcase the possibilities offered by using simulation models for evaluating the CAP, as well as the conditions for implementing them. The specific objectives were:
- to contribute to building the understanding of CAP evaluation stakeholders about simulation models, including the scope, relevance, and use of such models for evaluations of the CAP.
- to exchange practical experiences from the use of simulation models in the context of CAP evaluations and other relevant projects (Horizon, JRC, research/academic institutes).
- to provide an opportunity for networking and identification of needs for further support for Managing Authorities, Paying Agencies, CAP networks and evaluators in relation to the use of simulation models for evaluations of the CAP.
Tools4CAP participated in the session “Sharing experiences from Horizon”, providing an overview of the tools used by Member States in the CAP Strategic Plans (SP), with a particular focus on tools suitable for ex-post evaluation at the national level, and showcasing a practical application of Tools4CAP models in the Netherlands.
