DESCRIPTION:\nThe WeatherGenerator project will host a hackathon to projec
 t participants on 27th to 29th August 2025 in Bonn\, Germany.\nHackathon a
 ims\nThe Weather Generator team will present the core model of the Weather
 Generator and show the project participants how this model can be leverage
 d to a downstream application.\nThis will be an in-person hands-on event w
 ith the goal that each application can run and fine-tune the model.\nThe h
 ackathon will open with presentations and discussions of the project model
 s\, followed by how to run the applications. The work on the applications 
 themselves will then start\, which will be clustered around specific topic
 s.\nRegistration to the hackathon will be moderated by the organisers and 
 places are limited.\nProject background and motivation\nThe aim of the Wea
 therGenerator project is to build an advanced generative Foundation Model 
 of the Earth system – that will serve as a new Digital Twin for Destinat
 ion Earth. The WeatherGenerator model will be based on representation lear
 ning and aims to create a general and versatile tool that models the dynam
 ics of the Earth system based on a large variety of Earth system data. At 
 the same time\, it also aims to integrate observations and simulations at 
 a previously unseen level and scale.\nThis project brings together Europe'
 s leading scientific groups and research institutes\, Small and Medium-siz
 ed Enterprises (SMEs)\, and industry partners in the area of Earth system 
 modelling\, high-performance computing (HPC) and machine learning to build
  the WeatherGenerator as a new Digital Twin of DestinE. Once trained\, the
  WeatherGenerator will be applied for selected high-impact applications in
  the energy\, food\, water and health sectors. The WeatherGenerator will 
 lead to key innovations in weather and climate science and machine learnin
 g to enable Europe to establish and defend leadership with respect to mach
 ine-learning based Earth system modelling\nThe WeatherGenerator  project 
 is funded by the European Union\, Grant Agreement 101187947.\nMore details
