The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) with the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) are organising the seventh joint training course on Atmospheric Composition.
Whilst the topics of the training cover the main processes involved in atmospheric composition monitoring and modelling, the focus this year will be more on Advanced Atmospheric Composition Products & Applications with an emphasis on aerosols.
Dates: 13 to 17 October 2025
Location: Brussels, hosted by the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy BIRA-IASB .Additional key dates:
- 29 June 2025: deadline for registrations at 24:00 CEST.
- Mid July 2025: notification to selected participants.
- 1-2 and 9-10 October 2025 (tentative dates): online lectures.
Target audience
The course is targeted to post-graduate level students, researchers, professionals or anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of atmospheric composition monitoring and modelling and developing their practical skills in data handling.
Some basic background in physics, chemistry, mathematics and computing is assumed, and elementary familiarity with Python programming would be beneficial to make the most of the training.
Whilst the onsite training is limited to around 30 participants, the online lectures preceding the onsite phase will be streamed to a wider audience.When selecting candidates for the on-site training, participants from Copernicus contributing countries and member states of ESA and EUMETSAT will be given preference. Students from all other countries are also welcome to apply, subject to availability of space.
Financial support (for accommodation in Brussels) will be available upon request for a limited number of participants. Priority will be given to candidates from Copernicus contributing countries or working on an EU project.

This satellite applications course in English language is suitable for forecasters in Africa, independent of their work experience. The course will introduce the participants with the new operational MTG satellite, its instruments and capabilities for different weather applications in Africa.
We will explore the new capabilities of MTG in live session and discussions as well as in weather briefings.
You will improve your skills in : (a) Finding the new satellite products using openly available data sources such as EUMETVIew, b) Using the information for monitoring the weather in your forecasting office and c) Being a competent user of virtual course technology.
As a participant, you will develop professional relationships with other course participants, get connected to satellite professionals ready to help you to understand the new satellite capabilities, and to become a proficient user of the latest satellite products in your daily work.Applications closed. Accepted participants will be informed 12 March 2025. -
LES CANDIDATURES SONT FERMÉES
Ce cours sur les applications satellitaires, dispensé en français, est destiné aux prévisionnistes d'Afrique, quelle que soit leur expérience professionnelle. Il présentera aux participants le nouveau satellite opérationnel MTG, ses instruments et ses capacités pour diverses applications météorologiques en Afrique.
Les nouvelles capacités de MTG seront explorées à travers des sessions en direct, des discussions interactives et des briefings météorologiques.

ESSL and EUMETSAT organize a series of testbeds to prepare forecasters from the EUMETSAT Member States to use the data from Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) and Metop Second Generation (Metop-SG) satellites. These testbeds are organized both to teach forecasting severe convective storms, using state-of-the-art or even experimental forecasting tools, and to evaluate such tools. Forecasters will learn by making severe weather forecasts and nowcasts using a mix of new nowcasting and forecasting tools, followed by a verification. Particular focus will be given to the use of MTG satellite data and products, from both FCI and LI sensors. In addition, a range of state-of-the-art nowcasting tools and numerical weather prediction-based guidance (i.e. from DWD, ZAMG, ESSL, and ECMWF) will be evaluated.
Target group: Forecasters from the EUMETSAT Member States who train other forecasters and forecasters with a strong background in severe storms meteorology.
Location & dates
All testbeds will take place at ESSL Research and Training Centre (Wiener Neustadt, Austria).- 5 - 9 May 2025
- 12 - 16 May 2025 (COURSE FULL! No seats available!)
- 2 -6 June 2025 (COURSE FULL! No seats available!)

Monday: 10:00 - 17:00 | Tuesday - Thursday: 09:00 - 17:00 | Friday: 09:00 - 13:00
Weekly schedule: Candidates need to come from EUMETSAT Member States and have a nomination by their home institution. For accepted candidates, EUMETSAT plans to sponsor the cost of testbed attendance and, upon request, the cost for travel, accommodation and subsistence.
