Welcome to EMS & ECAC Media services

The EMS & ECAC events bring together some 600 actors of the meteorological, climate and related communities in Europe and beyond: from national weather and hydrological services, private service providers, academia and educational institutions, the media, and international organisations. These events serve as an annual forum fostering cross-fertilization and exchange.

The 14th EMS / 10th ECAC will take place 06 – 10 October 2014 at the Clarion Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic.

The theme of the EMS & ECAC 2014 is Creating climate services through partnerships
Societies need to adapt to present weather and climate on the one hand, but also develop new strategies for expected future conditions. It is therefore vital that more services be created and existing ones improved.  The conference theme emphasizes that these initiatives are increasingly developed through partnerships and dialogue, between scientists, developers, providers and end-users, the primary aim being to support society to cope with high impact climate extremes.
