We would love to see more of our users at this year’s Using ECMWF’s Forecasts (UEF) workshop — and there’s still time to get involved!

UEF2026 takes place in person at ECMWF’s Reading site from 1–4 June 2026. The event is open to all ECMWF forecast users and provides an opportunity to present your work, share feedback on forecast performance, and connect with ECMWF staff, Member and Co-operating State representatives, and users from around the world.

This year’s theme is **Extreme Temperature Forecasts** , with a focus on heatwave and cold wave events.

**Call for Abstracts — deadline extended to 10 April 2026**

Oral and poster contributions are invited across four thematic areas, and workshop proposals are also welcome. Submissions on innovative uses or practical experiences with ECMWF forecasts are encouraged, and UEF particularly values contributions from all sectors and regions.

We’d especially love to hear from users who work with our data day-to-day — your perspective is exactly what makes UEF valuable for the whole community.

Submit your abstract and find full details at: [Using ECMWF's Forecasts (UEF2026) (1-4 June 2026): Overview · ECMWF Events (Indico)](https://events.ecmwf.int/event/524/)

Register for in-person attendance or there is also an option to join online. There are **no registration fees** , though participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation.
