The CORDEX International Project Office will be hosted jointly by ESA and University of Cape Town

30 March 2026

CORDEX IPO

We are delighted to announce that the CORDEX International Project Office (CORDEX-IPOC) will be hosted jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) in Oxford, UK - with the Working Arrangement now completed—and the University of Cape Town (UCT), with the Working Arrangement  to be finalized in the coming days.
This new structure ensures robust international collaboration, coordination and continued excellence in coordinating CORDEX’s global efforts on regional climate downscaling, model evaluation, projections, and user engagement worldwide.

Abstract submission deadline is approaching for the "Km-scale Global Modelling Summit 2026".

26 March 2026

km-scale global modelling summit 2026

WarmWorld and related projects from across Europe and the world are organizing this summit to take stock of the rapid and exciting scientific and technical developments associated with the development of the next generation km-scale global models. The summit will take place in Hamburg, Germany, on 20-24 July 2026, and will bring together experts from the domains of modelling, observations, high performance computing, human and environmental impacts, and AI-assisted work flows, all of whom are building on the unique capabilities and technological profile of the km-scale models.

Timeline

  • March 31, 2026 - Deadline for abstract submission
  • April 1, 2026 - Registration opens

To know more visit the Global Modeeling website and submit your abstract using the abstract submission platform.

CORDEX International Workshop on Coordinated Regional Projection Research and Synthesis

19 March 2026

CORDEX Logo

At the CORDEX International Workshop on Coordinated Regional Projection Research and Synthesis to be held on May 12–15 in Trieste (Italie), the CORDEX community will be brought together to coordinate contributions to literature supporting IPCC AR7 WGI, addressing gaps in regional climate information, extremes, and uncertainty, while integrating new CMIP6-CORDEX simulations and AI-based regional climate emulators.

To know more visit the workshop website. Participation by invitation only.

Registrations open for the 1st International Symposium on Earth System Modeling (EarthSym)

16 March 2026

EarthSym 2026

The 1st International Symposium on Earth System Modeling (EarthSym) to be held from 12 to 14 August 2026 in Maceió, Brazil will serve as an international forum for discussion, collaboration, and exchange of ideas on the numerical representation of the Earth system and its interacting components. The event highlights the complex connections among the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, hydrosphere, and cryosphere, and how these interactions influence weather, climate, and environmental variability across spatial and temporal scales.
  • 10 March to 9 July : Early registration
  • 15 April: Abstract submission deadline

The CMIP Community Workshop is underway in Kyoto

12 March 2026

CMIP workshop 2026

The CMIP Community Workshop is underway in Kyoto to spear discussions in latest advances in coupled modelling, early results from CMIP7, and the evolving observation–modelling interface. With dedicated sessions for early-career scientists, the workshop fosters collaboration, strengthens global partnerships, and shapes a shared vision for delivering sustained, high-quality climate information to all users. Many thanks to the hosts, local & international sponsors, and all scientific communities involved!

To know more, visit the CMIP Community Workshop website.
