The Framework Programme 9, "Horizon Europe" is a planned 7-year European Union scientific research initiative meant to succeed the current Horizon 2020 programme.

INQUIRIES:
Should any questions arise please contact ems2020-mentoring@emetsoc.org.
As meteorologists, climate researchers, users of met and climate services, we as conference participants are acutely aware of the urgency with which we need to change personal behaviour in addition to changes in the economy and political actions.
Involved in the programme development and organisation of the conference, we invite all conference participants to this brainstorming session in which we hope to collect views on the subject and ideas on how the negative footprint of the conference as a whole can be reduced and turned into a #positivefootprint.
More details will become available in late spring.
The session will be open to all, no registration required.
