August 2023

Dear readers,  the EMS Annual Meeting 2023 in Bratislava is now only a couple of days away. If you have not yet registered be aware that registrations need to be completed and paid online, best before 2 September, when higher registration fees will apply.

Now is also the time to register for the remaining places on the excursions organised by the local hosts or the Bratislava craft beer tour.
To access the session programme the EMS2023 app is available for android and iOS.

For all who were not planning to attend but may still be interested to sneak in on the Welcome & Awards & Strategic Lectures on Monday 4 September: the public stream will be freely accessible from the main conference page, start of the session is at 4pm CEST.

   The conference week will also see the hand over of the EMS Presidency: Liz Bentley will take over from Bert on the last day of the conference, to lead the EMS into its 25-year anniversary next year. This raises interest also beyond our community: see the feature in a local paper from the Reading area: Incoming President: Leading climate expert from Wokingham prepares for new role heading up the European Meteorological Society 

We all look forward to interesting sessions and events in Bratislava.
