The SIMONE project partners gathered in Paris for a two‑day working meeting dedicated to refining the development of their simulator, a tool designed to help European farmers identify agroecological levers for managing weeds more effectively.
The programme combined group discussions on regional weed‑related challenges in France, Switzerland, Flanders and Wallonia with hands‑on workshops. Partners compared modelling choices used in their respective simulators, challenged and improved the methods applied to facilitate expert groups, and exchanged best practices across regions and disciplines.
This meeting offered an important moment of reflection and alignment for all living labs. The insights gained will support the next phase of the project: moving from development to the operational implementation of the simulators together with farmers in each region.
