This is the Final Conference of the CAFE Project (Climate Advanced Forecasting of sub-seasonal Extremes, http://www.cafes2se-itn.eu).

The topics of the conference are meteorological and climate extreme events, their process understanding, their forecasting (with a strong focus on sub-seasonal time scale), and their response to climate change.

In the conference, scientists from different disciplines will discuss the open problems and the most recent advances in the topics of interest. Also, the conference will facilitate contact with stakeholders (weather/climate services, risk analysis consultants, insurance companies, final users…) to learn about their needs and exchange policy-relevant knowledge. 

The conference is planned to be an in-person discussion and networking event.
