The Climate and Atmosphere Research Center (CARE-C) of the Cyprus Institute, and its Advanced Partners, are organizing the 3^rd Annual Scientific Workshop on Climate and Atmosphere Research & Innovation in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region, on Tuesday 7 November 2023.

This one-day online event aims to bring together the international scientific community to discuss the latest innovations, and exchange knowhow, on the science of climate change and air pollution, as well as highlight related challenges, impacts and potential solutions for the EMME region.

Building on the success of the two previous workshops in 2021, and 2022, this year’s event is expected to attract a diverse group of renowned scientists and researchers from across the EMME region, Europe, and beyond.

As such, the workshop will provide a unique opportunity for networking by allowing participants to connect with researchers, scientists, and innovators with shared interests, enhance regional collaboration, increase visibility on important scientific results relevant to the EMME, and contribute to enhancing national capacities for addressing the climate crisis.

This workshop also aims to provide a forum for signposting opportunities for collaboration on competitive calls and other relevant activities that can support the international community in working together more closely to address climate change impacts and challenges.

Scientists, researchers, students and industry professionals actively engaged with research & innovation on aspects of climate change and air pollution in the EMME region.

Workshop Topics include the following:

• Climate Change and Weather Extremes
• Atmospheric Dust
• Air Pollution Sources and Impacts
• Greenhouse Gases and Remote Sensing Observations
• Atmosphere and Climate Modelling and Prediction
• New Instrumentation and Research Infrastructure
• International Networks and Regional initiatives
• Education and Training Opportunities

The workshop has been held online.

Proposed abstracts must be of interest to scientists, researchers, students or professionals actively engaged with research on aspects of climate change and air pollution in the Eastern Mediterranean & Middle East (EMME) region. Anyone may make a submission.

You can submit an abstract within any area of Climate and Atmosphere Research & Innovation, though applicants are strongly encouraged to propose abstracts that focus on the EMME region and fit within the following topics:

1. Climate change and weather extremes
2. Atmospheric Dust
3. Air pollution sources and impacts
4. Greenhouse Gases & Remote Sensing Observations
5. Atmosphere & Climate Modelling and Prediction
6. New Instrumentation and Research Infrastructure
7. International Networks and Regional initiatives
8. Education and Training Opportunities

Please refer to the Guide for Abstract Proposers for further information and instructions.

Registration is now open. The workshop is free to attend.

This workshop is organized within the framework of the H2020 Teaming Project EMME-CARE (emme-care.cyi.ac.cy), and the Horizon Europe project Edu4Climate (edu4climate.cyi.ac.cy).  Course organization is led by CARE-C, The Cyprus Institute, with the contribution of the EMME-CARE Advanced Partners, the University of Helsinki, the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), and the Edu4Climate Consortium partners.
