EUCP Final Meeting, 4th – 6th May 2022

EUCP Updates

EUCP would like to invite you to join our final project event, online, during 4th – 6th May 2022!

Th EUCP project partners look forward to sharing our programme of presentations and panel discussions showcasing the progress that the project has made towards:

  • Developing seamless climate prediction approaches
  • Extracting more information from ensembles of projections
  • Understanding and exploiting high resolution simulations of extremes
