This conference is designed with a 'flipped-learning' approach. This means we are making all conference material available in advance.
During the Conference week we will host some live sessions, as well as offer opportunities for asynchronous interactions during the whole week. So how is this going to work?
Before the Conference starts
The Pre-conference area will be available to you from 7th of November. You are invited to explore the material in advance to help you to be prepared for discussions and activities taking place during the conference week.
The CALMet Conference Programme is based on seven thematic areas and overarching pedagogical themes, grouped as follows:
- Fostering collaboration with communities
- Inspiration for the training sessions you provide
- Artificial Intelligent (AI) in Training and Professional Development
- Educational tools related experiences, best practices, and lessons learned
- Supporting Training for Meteorological Professionals
- Supporting Satellite Meteorology Training
- Supporting the Training for Other Professionals and Public
During the Conference
The Conference will take place from Monday 13 to Friday 17th November. Because participants will be attending the conference from different parts of the world, the synchronous live interactions will take place according to a schedule which contemplates the time zones. There will also be plenty of opportunities for asynchronous interactions during the whole week.
