The National Centre for Atmospheric Science are delighted to announce the launch of the 3rd European Earth System and Climate Modelling School (3rd E2SCMS) which will take place in Helsinki, Finland, from Thursday 9 June to Tuesday, 21 June 2016.

Applications are now being accepted and the deadline for applications is 1100 UTC on Monday 21 March 2016.

For more information about the school and to apply, please go to bit.ly/E2SCMS3.

Organised jointly between NCAS, the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology, and the University of Barcelona, the E2SCMS Earth System and Climate Modelling Summer School is open to early career scientists (advanced PhD candidates, postdoctoral scientists, and scientific programmers) who are affiliated with European research institutions.

Hosted by the University of Helsinki, with the support of the Finnish Meteorological Institute and the Finnish Supercomputing Centre, the course is delivered by international experts in Earth system and climate modelling ensuring an advanced and stimulating learning environment.

The course begins with a series of lectures, which are followed by practical sessions where participants apply what they have learnt by analysing the results of their own Earth system simulations. In this part of the course three well established Earth System Models will be used: HAD-GEM (FAMOUS), MPI-ESM, and EC-Earth, which will be run at
international supercomputing centres remotely from the course.

Registration for the school is free and students are asked only to cover the cost of travel and accommodation (some accommodation and boarding grants are available).

For more information about the school and to apply, please go to bit.ly/E2SCMS3.
