World Climate Research Programme

On 11 October, around 120 early career researchers, senior scientists and editors met at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) in Pune for the APARC Early Career Researcher Workshop, “The ECR Nexus: Connecting Voices, Tools, and Science to Society”. The programme included a keynote on artificial intelligence and machine learning in Earth sciences, a panel on career paths within and beyond academia, a “Meet the Editors” session, and a hands-on tutorial on the Earth System Model Evaluation Tool (ESMValTool). Participants also discussed funding, mobility, access to data and computing resources, and how research can connect more closely with society.
