- The CMIP Community Workshop 2026 will bring together a growing, and increasingly diverse, community of Earth system scientists, partners, and stakeholders.
Mar 09, 2026
to
Mar 13, 2026
(Europe/Berlin / UTC100)
The workshop will be an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in Earth system and coupled modelling, leverage the wealth of the CMIP6 analyses and explore the updated forcings and early results from CMIP7 simulations, including new experimental designs and MIPs. It will also highlight the expanding observation-modelling interface, address strategies for streamlining the climate information chain, and forge a vision and global partnerships to deliver sustained and high quality climate information to all users. The workshop will also provide ample opportunities for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange, fostering new partnerships with the CMIP community. In addition, there will be an Early-Career Scientist hackathon, designed and developed by our Fresh Eyes on CMIP community.
Full details, including venue and workshop website, are coming soon.
Workshop format and location
The Workshop will have both in-person and remote participation options to ensure inclusion and engagement while minimising our carbon footprint. In-person participation will be hosted by the Japanese SENTAN project in Kyoto, Japan. Precise venue information will be released in due course.
