The four on-going activities, designed to foster collaboration across the two institutions are:
- The joint PhD programme: the first PhD has been awarded (see News), while a new call for PhD topics will be launched together with the rest of the Doctoral Training Programme.
- The 2021 Climate Modelling Summer School (https://ncas.ac.uk/study-with-us/climate-modelling-summer-school/): applications are open, and ECMWF staff are closely involved in planning and in teaching at CMSS2021.
- Consultation on research and educational topics: the ECMWF round has been completed, and currently the University of Reading Research Theme Leaders will be involved in the UoR consultation exercise.
- A first research workshop will be held in the autumn, in order to identify strategic research and funding actions around one of the priority topics identified in 3).
