Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) - Technical University of Madrid is the largest Spanish technological university. UPM is an internationally leading centre in agroforestry research, with a strong commitment towards the transfer of knowledge to society. The Research Centre for the Management of Agricultural and Environmental Risks (CEIGRAM-UPM https://ceigram.upm.es/en/) focuses at risk assessment, including biophysical risks, sustainability assessment, climate change impacts and adaptive management in agriculture and water resources, and evaluation of agrifood and rural policies.
UPM team in ACT4CAP27 has expertise in integrated assessment of agricultural and environmental policies, bioeconomic modelling and complex systems modelling. UPM leads WP5 on modelling infrastructure and capacity building and contributes to all WPs. UPM will coordinate capacity building activities to train newcomers into model-based research and to involve policymakers and end users in policy assessments. Furthermore, UPM will develop a prototype of a complex network model for global food value chains, Furthermore, UPM will contribute to scenario analysis and will lead the development of the ACT4CAP27 baseline.
