SECLI-FIRM Collaboration Forum

Held at WindEurope| Brussels

SECLI-FIRM invites you to be part of a free collaboration forum which will discuss:

·         What are seasonal climate forecasts and how could your organisation benefit from using them?

·         Can seasonal climate predictions help the energy and water sectors improve management decisions and resilience to extreme climate event?

·         How can you influence the project direction and contribute to its outputs?

·         How can your organisation remain involved and be the first to hear about the findings of this project?

 

Advanced programme
