Workshop description

This is the fourth workshop of the Climate Advanced Forecasting of sub-seasonal Extremes (CAFE) project.

This workshop will include keynote presentations on a variety of aspects related to sub-seasonal forecasting and its applications. There will also be a focus on soft skills with activities to develop these.

This workshop is part of the ongoing activities of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovation Training Network (ITN).

 

Attendance

There is a free admission policy to the scientific sessions within the limits of available places. Please complete the registration form if you are interested in attending one or several sessions.

 

COVID Procedures

The workshop will be held in person in Reading, UK. ECMWF has put in place a number of COVID Health and Safetly measures to reduce the risk of transmission in the workplace to the lowest practicable level making ECMWF a safe place to work.

ECMWF requires all persons on site to provide proof of vaccination (minimum 2 doses), proof of recovery from COVID or evidence of a negative COVID Lateral Flow Test conducted in the preceding 24 hours to access the site.

All participants are required to sign a copy of the ‘COVID-19 Site Health and Safety Procedures’ prior to arrival or on arrival at Shinfield Park.
