The 1st DC DSSAT User Group Meeting was successfully held at IFPRI on December 4th, 2014. About 30 participants shared their DSSAT stories and research/applications where DSSAT plays a key role. DSSAT Foundation shared updates on the features of upcoming v4.6 and other exciting changes (going open source, new crops and modules, new projects, as well as ongoing challenges and calling for the community to contribute).
Several participants gave a quick 5-minute presentations on their work and very interesting/exciting ideas; here are the slides you can also take a look:
