Introduction 

ECMWF has an extensive education and training programme to assist Member States and Co-operating States in the training of scientists in numerical weather forecasting, and in making use of the ECMWF computer facilities.

The training courses consist of modules which can be attended separately. A student may decide to attend the different modules in different years.

The programme for 2007 is as follows:

Use of Computing Facilities

In this course the use of ECMWF computing and archive facilities is introduced. This course is aimed at both current and potential users of the Centre’s facilities.
