On May 31- June 2, 2019, our reseller Beijing Uone Info & Tech Co. , Ltd hosted a three-day course on CGE Modeling with GAMS at the South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou, China.
More than 20 participants attended this successful training course. “We enjoyed the opportunity to connect with some GAMS users from different universities there to hear about their projects and to answer some of their questions along the way,” said Crystal from Beijing Uone Info & Tech Co., Ltd.
Three very exciting and well-organized workshops on advanced GAMS features as well as CGE modeling took place this May. For this adventure, Michael, Steve and Freddy from GAMS teamed up with Agapi Somwaru who recently retired from USDA and Xinshen Diao from IFPRI, two experts in CGE modeling. Yumei Zhang from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) was our main local contact for the entire trip. After arriving in Beijing and having the opportunity to visit some incredible places like the Summer Palace and the Great Wall, we started our first two-day workshop in Beijing. CGE modeling in GAMS turned out to be a hot topic! Yumei had to reschedule our room twice, since more than a hundred people had registered for the course.
