The EUMETNET Executive Director, Dr. Klemen Bergant, and the Programmes and Projects Coordinator, Claudia Keller, visited the Headquarters of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in Geneva, Switzerland on 25 and 26 November 2024 to talk about ongoing and possible future collaboration between the two organisations. They were joined on the first day by Christophe Jacob, the EUMETRep Programme Manager from the joint WMO, EUMETNET, ECMWF and EUMETSAT EU liaison office based in Brussels.
During this visit, they had the opportunity to meet with the Secretary General of WMO, Prof. Celeste Saulo, and some of her colleagues. Among other things, they discussed EUMETNET’s support to the United Nation’s Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative, and possible opportunities to strengthen collaboration in the areas of marine observations, RBON, Regional WIGOS Centres, Artificial Intelligence, and data sharing.
The two very productive days were organised by the WMO’s Office for Europe (RA VI) and its Director Dr. Kornélia Radics. We thank everyone for the inspiring meetings and are looking forward to our continued collaboration.
