10th EUMETSAT User Forum
The 10th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa will take place at the UN-ECA conference centre in Addis Ababa from 1-5 October 2012. The forum is organised in collaboration with the National Meteorology Agency of Ethiopia, the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the African Union Commission.
The purpose of the EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa is to reinforce the well established dialogue between EUMETSAT and the African user community in order to facilitate the use of EUMETSAT satellite data throughout the continent. The Forum also provides the opportunity to identify actions and initiatives that could be taken by EUMETSAT and its partners to meet the requirements of its African users.
Over 180 participants from more than 60 countries representing the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, African regional institutional bodies, government agencies and regional scientific and technical institutions will attend the forum in Addis Ababa.
This 10th edition of the biennial EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa marks two decades of the exploitation of meteorological satellite data in Africa.
