During July 2015, Dr Heinrich Bohlmann attended the 18^th Annual Conference on Global Economic Analysis presented by the Center for Global Trade Analysis at Purdue University and hosted by the Centre of Policy Studies at Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia.

At the conference, Heinrich presented his research on the economy-wide impacts of the 2014 platinum mining strike in South Africa, for which he was also awarded the Ken Pearson Scholarship “in recognition of his status as a promising young researcher contributing to the use and development of analytical software for CGE modelling and to support his participation at the conference”.
