The EMS & partners are inviting all conveners and early career scientists to this reception.
A relaxed occasion for meeting with fellow Early Career Scientists, exchange experience with and between convenors and for chatting about career possibilities with people who have chosen different career paths - and just enjoy.

With ECS we mean PhD students and early PostDocs - generally, all who think of themselves as an early career scientist.

Join us for the second EMS Speed Networking for Early Career Scientists!
This fun and fast-paced session will help you make connections and learn from experienced professionals in meteorology, climate, and related fields. Whether you’re interested in job opportunities, learning about possible career paths or advice about professional growth, this event is an excellent opportunity to expand both your knowledge and your network of contacts.

We look forward to "mentors" and "mentorees" joining us from across the atmospheric and climate science field for an engaging afternoon of networking.

Willing to be a mentor? - please see our call for mentors and get touch.

More details on the event will be provided over summer.

Date: Sunday, 6 September 2026
Format: onsite

At the EMS2026 a one-day, hands-on workshop on Good Practices for Research Software and Data is planned. It introduces practical, domain-agnostic skills that are directly relevant to meteorology and climate research, including:

* Version control and collaborative development
* Reproducibility, documentation, and sharing data/software responsibly

The material is suitable for researchers at all career stages, with particular value for early-career attendees.

Publishing research in scientific journals is one way that researchers build reputation in their community and allow the wide dissemination of their work.  This workshop will go through the structure of the article, introduce best practice tips when writing a paper, highlight the editorial process, and detail the main ethical issues in scientific publishing.
The aim of this interactive workshop, led by the Editors of the Journal of the European Meteorological Society, is to provide tips to prospective authors to improve the quality of their manuscripts and increase their chances of their papers being accepted for publication in reputable, international journals.

Event Details:
• Duration: 1.5 hours
• Organizers:
-Dr. Johannes Schmetz, Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of the European Meteorological Society
-Dr. Gert-Jan Steeneveld, Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of the European Meteorological Society
-Sandra Broerse, Publisher Climate & Sustainability journals, Elsevier

This workshop is intended especially for Early Career Scientists but is open to anyone interested. Registration is required and can be made during the conference registration.
