Media at the EMS Annual Meeting

The Annual Meetings of the EMS aim at fostering exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas in the meteorological, climatological, and related communities. This event brings together members of the meteorological, climate, and related communities in Europe and beyond.

Facilitating interactions, integration, and engagement of science, applications, and actors is our core objective. The session programme highlights these goals and offers many opportunities for enhancing collaboration across the entire weather and climate enterprise (public, private, academic, users, and NGOs) to benefit societies in Europe and worldwide.

The EMS Annual Meeting 2026 will be held from 6 to 11 September 2026 at the Jaarbeurs conference centre in Utrecht.

The programmatic focus of the 2026 Annual Meeting, reflecting the interests and activities of the host institutions, will be on the challenges for the broad European meteorological infrastructure posed by climate change: to develop tools for early warnings and societal preparedness in a changing European climate.
