The purpose of the EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa is to sustain the well established dialogue between EUMETSAT and the African user community, in particular the National Meteorological Services and their regional centres. The overall objective is 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 to meet the requirements of its African partners.
The EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa is organised every two years. The forum is organised in collaboration with the National Meteorological Service of the host country, together with relevant governmental institutions and ministries who also act as hosts.
The 13th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa will take place in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, from 24 to 28 September 2018. Visit the forum website for more information.
