PURPOSE: This workshop aims to strengthen the human biometeorology community by bringing together experts, practitioners, and stakeholders to exchange knowledge and co‑create future directions. Through presentations, interactive discussions and shared experiences, participants will:

*Build and enhance professional networks that support long‑term collaboration.
*Showcase examples of effective and innovative biometeorological services, highlighting real‑world applications, communication tools, and operational solutions.
*Identify current gaps in scientific understanding, methodological approaches, and user-oriented practices related to the impact of the atmosphere on human health.
*Develop a shared set of recommendations to guide future research priorities, service improvements, capacity development, and cooperation.

The workshop will serve as a platform for aligning perspectives, inspiring new initiatives, and fostering a vibrant community committed to advancing human biometeorology for societal benefit.

European Meteorological Society Workshop for communications professionals of NMHS (co-organised by ECMWF, EUMETSAT and WMO)

The workshop is targeted at communications professionals at European NMHS and is jointly organised by ECMWF, EUMETSAT and WMO. It takes place at the European Meteorological Society's Annual Meeting 2026 in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The one-day workshop is a chance to hear about and discuss topics such as AI tools for communication, weather warnings, data visualisation, the latest weather satellites and many other topics.
A key part of the workshop will be the opportunity for networking and discussion amongst fellow meteorological communications professionals. This will be a valuable opportunity to focus on challenges and lessons learned around weather and climate communication.

Participation is by invitation only.
