Empowering weather and climate forecast

MAELSTROM's second dissemination workshop

ECMWF's impressive conference table

What it was about

This workshop started with an overview on the MAELSTROM project and continued with invited talks by experts from the three domains of machine learning, high-performance computing, and Earth sciences to summarise and disseminate the latest research and developments towards highly efficient, scalable machine learning tools that improve weather and climate predictions. The workshop was hybrid with the ability to join virtually from everywhere in the world and to follow the talks in person at ECMWF in Reading, UK.

We were honored to welcome 200 online participants and 36 in person.

The MAELSTROM Dissemination Workshop was organised back-to-back with the second MAELSTROM Boot Camp.
