Description
The ECMWF ML Pilot project is a Member-led project funded by ECMWF (ECMWF/C/107(23)12 Rev.2) with the objective to foster European collaboration on machine learning (ML) for weather forecasting with a focus on the whole forecasting chain (model, analysis, uncertainty estimation, MLops platforms) and high resolution/limited area modelling, as well as training activities. The project is part of a new EUMETNET optional programme on AI and Machine Learning (E-AI), reflecting the strong initiative and motivation of European NMHS to collaborate and advance on these topics.
This kick-off event officially launched the project activities and brought all project participants together for the first time. The event was structured to start with a kick-off session (introductions and strategic discussions, decisions), followed by technical presentations, discussions and hands-on hackathon. All project participants were strongly encouraged to join the event on site, however the meeting was organised as hybrid.
The event started at 14:00 BST on Monday 3rd June.
Attendance
This workshop was restricted to project members.
