The BSC, as the institution responsible of Climateurope’s deliverable D4.1 “Integrating Earth System Modelling and Climate Services”, is pleased to announce the first webinar of the WP4 expert group.

The webinar, the first of a series, will consist in two talks given by experts external to Climateurope:

* Andrea Taylor (Univ. Leeds): Communicating uncertainty in climate information: Insights from the behavioural sciences
* Geert Jan van Oldenborgh (KNMI): Event attribution, from research to climate service

The talks will last 15 minutes and will be followed by a brief round of questions from the audience. The last part of the webinar will be devoted to a moderated discussion to address the following two questions relevant to Climateurope:

* Which challenges for climate modelling and observations are raised by climate services?
* How to manage the situation with the H2020 work program where climate services shows a tendency to be better funded than climate observations, model development and infrastructure?

The webinar, which will be recorded and made available on the project web site, can be followed via webex on this link
