The objective of the MOOC is to train a wider community on the impact and use of Machine Learning in numerical weather and climate predictions. It brings together experts throughout Member and Co-operating States and beyond to provide a shared vision across the communities of Earth system sciences, high-performance computing and Machine Learning.
The MOOC starts on 9 January 2023 and is organized by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and in partnership with the International Foundation Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Human Development (iFAB).
