Improving climate and weather models for Africa
Funds joint African-European research teams that improve weather and climate models tailored to Africa, using AI and high-performance computing.
Improving climate and weather models for Africa is a Horizon Europe grant from the European Commission that funds joint African-European research teams to improve weather and climate models tailored to Africa, using AI, observational data and high-performance computing; companies are eligible to take part directly alongside research organisations. Proposals need to show close cooperation and co-cr…
The European Commission wants research that closes knowledge gaps in weather and climate modelling for Africa, improving predictive skill on rainfall and extreme weather at regional, interregional or continental scale. Proposals should use observational data, AI/ML techniques and high-performance computing, and must be co-created between African and European research teams so African researchers gain lasting access to tools, data and expertise.
