This presentation will help you to know more about Eumetcal Training activities – what we do How we create together with NHMS in and outside Europe (and also other training programs) an advanced and successful training Other arrow was too narrow and out of balance with the rectangular names 2 2

Eumetcal Steering Group gives advice Eumetcal Steering Group meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania , May 2010 5

Idea of Eumetcal was born in late 90’s EuroMET 1996-1998 Phase I 2001-2003 Phase II 2004-2007 Phase III Jul 2007–Jun 2012 Management: Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI)

Eumetcal has now 28 member states and 4 partner institutes

Eumetcal gets its funding by Member Contributions Based on percentage of total budget Percentage based on GNI The current operational phase 110.000 €/year

The objective is to help members with their training needs Collaboration Trainer network Technological tools Support I think this direction works better as your eye wants to stay on the right of the screen. It follows the arrows here. On the previous one, your eye keeps going to the archer and having to go back again to the text. 9 9

Eumetcal Workshop Eumetcal Courses RHMS Contacts with other Experts Eumetcal offers to NMSs several forums… … to collaborate and to get support I don’t think animating the diagram helps. But if you do, a symmetrical version would be better. I changed the shapes to 3D in PPT 2007 and removed the italics (harder to read) and made text bold. Working Groups 10 10

Themed Resource Working Groups

Example – radar working group Wilfried Jacobs (DWD) Martin Hagen (DLR) Bojan Lipovscak(DHMZ) Andreas Schaffhauser (ZAMG) Alessandro Chiariello (FMI) Elena Saltikoff (FMI) Roger Deslandes (BoM) Peter Lang (DWD)

Radar working group is active in 2010 Activity 2010 April: Online meeting May: Face-to-face meeting– preparing the next Eumetcal Radar course Radar Course November 2010 – February 2011 Harmonisation with other radar training 2010 : ERAD, MSC Radar course. Meeting in Geneva Nov 2010 19

Contacts to other experts improves the training quality Finding and sharing resources and new innovations Technical advise and tools Help in course planning Wide network of subject matter experts

EUMETCAL FLASH COURSE DECEMBER 2009

Eumetcal courses are for the members

Eumetcal courses are in blended format Distance learning phase Background knowledge for the classroom phase Independent work Classroom phase Discussion Practical demonstrations Deepening the knowledge Taking the course entirely online has not yet been desirable even though technically entirely possible. This is due to the fact that the eLearning tools are still largely unknown to European NMSs and also students have only little experience in online courses. Taking parts of the course online give the NMSs the opportunity to learn new techniques, introduce new technologies to the students and shorten the time needed for an actual classroom course. 25 25

Eumetcal meteorology courses 2010-2011 Radar course (November -> Feb 2011) APPLICATIONS OPEN 2011 Aviation course(s) Satellite course (with EUMeTrain) 26

Other courses and events NMS can join through Eumetcal Technological tools (Moodle, Scenari) Co-operation with EUMeTrain Event week ”Warning Week” in October Co-operation with WMO trainers’ seminar in May in Sibiu, Romania Co-operation with Eumetsat training events Heading now has a verb and an action they can take- ie, reason for the slide Bullet types consistent with previous Spacing between bullets  proximity 27 27
