It is our pleasure to announce the ECMWF training course:
A hands-on introduction to Numerical Weather Prediction models: Understanding and experimenting
10–14 November 2025 at ECMWF in Reading (UK)
Registration is NOW OPEN and will close on 01 July 2025

Training course: A hands-on introduction to Numerical Weather Prediction Models: Understanding and Experimenting (10-14 November 2025): Overview · ECMWF Events (Indico) **
Please note, the course format is in-person only (not virtual, not hybrid)
This five-day course has a strong practical component and will draw on numerical weather prediction expertise from across ECMWF. It provides an overview of the ECMWF model while giving hands-on sessions to give you confidence to carry out your own experimentation with the latest version of the OpenIFS model (or the IFS model).
It is an opportunity to learn about:
• the building blocks of the NWP model (physics and dynamics)
• how to work with the output and input GRIB data and visualise it
• technical aspects of compiling and running model code efficiently
Please note that applications will be moderated as the number of spaces in the classroom are limited.

Kind regards,
Marcus
