ECMWF | Reading | 28 January - 1 February 2019
Workshop description
The APPLICATE General Assembly 2019 was held at ECMWF in Reading (UK) from 28-30 January. The meeting featured presentations on the project’s scientific progress, invited talks and breakout sessions. There was also plenty of opportunity for networking and discussion.
The APPLICATE General Assembly 2019 was followed on by an Early Career Event at ECMWF from 30 January to 1 February. All early career scientists were encouraged to participate in the Early Career Event which included interactive lectures by international scientists and the opportunity to present and discuss their research as well as lots of time for networking. We invited the more experienced scientists to remain after the end of the General Assembly for the first afternoon of the Early Career Event (30 Jan 2019) when students presented their research.
The APPLICATE project (Advanced Prediction in Polar regions and beyond: modelling, observing system design and LInkages associated with a Changing Arctic climaTE) is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 727862) with the aim to enhance weather and climate prediction capabilities in Polar regions and understand the impact of Arctic changes to mid-latitudes. APPLICATE involves 16 partners from nine countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and started in November 2016 running over a period of four years.
