2. 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

6. Idea of Eumetcal was born in late 90’s
EuroMET
Phase I
Phase II
Phase III Jul 2007–Jun 2012
Management: Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI)

7. Eumetcal has now 28 member states and 4 partner institutes

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

9. 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

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.

Leaders for two groups are still needed, but already we are off to a good start
New groups can form and old ones end as necessary, this is our first guess
Need for experts in the groups with training expertise and/or subject matter knowledge 20 20

21. 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

22. 3. Help in course and workshop planning
EUMETSAT MOODLE COURSE MAY 2010

23. EUMETCAL FLASH COURSE DECEMBER 2009

24. Eumetcal courses are for the members

25. 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

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

27. 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
