Dear colleagues,

Generative AI is rapidly transforming how we design and deliver meteorological education and training. Each time a member of our global network hosts a hands-on workshop or shares a practical demonstration, the energy and insights are unmistakable—and highly valuable.

At a recent VLab meeting we agreed it is time to channel this momentum into a formal, worldwide Community of Practice. Our vision is a collaborative space—supported by a Signal group, an online workspace, and a series of concise webinars—where we can exchange knowledge, skills, and proven “recipes” for using GenAI in our daily work as educators, trainers, and training managers.

We, Marcial Garbanzo Salas (marcial.garbanzo@ucr.ac.cr) and Heleen ter Pelkwijk (heleen.ter.pelkwijk@knmi.nl), have volunteered to coordinate this community and curate the webinar programme—but we need your help to make it a success.

What we are looking for

• Hands-on GenAI practitioners willing to present a 20–30 minute webinar that explains the why, how, and what for of a concrete GenAI application in our field.

• Recommendations for potential speakers who are actively exploring or implementing GenAI tools in their day-to-day work.

How you can contribute

1. Offer to present: Share your experience and lessons learned in a short, practical webinar.

2. Nominate a colleague: If you know someone whose GenAI work could benefit the community, please put us in touch.

3. Suggest topics or tools you would like covered in future sessions.

If you are interested—or if you have someone in mind who might be—please reply to this message or contact either of us directly. Together, we can build a vibrant learning community that empowers us all to use Generative AI more effectively.

Thank you in advance for your ideas and support. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

We are seeking support to publish and disseminate a guidebook (in Spanish) that helps integrate fire weather into operational decision-making for all aspects of wildfire management. It addresses atmosphere–wildfire interactions, specific fire-weather tools, and the implementation process, all of which require coordinated training for meteorologists, wildfire practitioners, and other stakeholders.

We believe it would be valuable to include this guide as part of a training project.

Looking for an instructional designer

Short description: We plan to design a Moodle platform based on the Skills and Knowledge Framework for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), which our working group will develop. Instead of creating new training modules, we intend to map existing modules to the Skills and Knowledge identified in the Framework. Therefore, having knowledge of where the relevant existing modules are located would be very helpful.

Looking for: collaborators to jointly fill the BIP-M & BIP-MT training needs

# data[].attributes.body
The EUMETCAL Programme is looking for partners to compile a list of high-quality, effective e-learning modules available for reuse within the community, covering the WMO BIP-M and BIP-MT competencies. We could then consider jointly filling any gaps by creating new materials. I realise that this will not be achieved overnight, but it would be good to start working on it together.

Offering: self-paced online learning materials
Short description: Effective self-paced online learning materials of a good quality facilitates (re)use of those materials by other.

All this material is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0 International License, which means it can be freely used within the WMO Global Campus. However, if you plan to use these modules to train larger groups of colleagues and you already have your own Learning Management System (LMS), we kindly ask you to contact the EUMETCAL Programme Management first. In many cases, we can set up an LTI connection between our LMS systems. This helps us significantly reduce the costs of additional LMS licenses, allowing us to invest more in developing new learning materials for the community.

Looking for: collaborators for co-planning/deliver of Agromet courses
Short description: We, at RTC Italy, are designing and planning a new edition of the AgroMetSchool and we are doing a needs assessment, and, based on that, design the training activity. We already touched some main topics in the past like water resources,  micrometeorology for agriculture, extreme events, soil-plant-atmosphere interactions. We seek for new topics of potential interest and looking for collaborators for co-planning/deliver.

------

Another topic the RTC  Italy is also interested is marine forecast, using a facility in the Mediterranean which offer a unique environment. On this topic, my colleagues Francesco Sabatini and Vieri Tarchiani are interested and ca be contacted.

Looking for: support to identify professionals teaching marine sciences
Short description: For years we have been delivering the SMA course, namely EUMETSAT Supporting Marine Earth Observation Applications course, a technical training for professionals who want to use EUMETSAT's marine satellite data, such as ocean color, sea surface temperature, and altimetry. The course included a self-paced learning phase and a virtual classroom phase, teaching participants how to access and process data from EUMETSAT's marine product catalogue to develop their own applications.

We are looking to redesign this and we would first need to better understand the needs of the audience. By audience we are first looking at marine university professions/staff who teach or might teach using EUMETSAT marine data. We need support to identify such professionals. We would then discuss to undertstand how to best support them and how a solution might look like.
