The OpenIFS team are excited to announce the

6^th OpenIFS User Meeting from 22^nd to 26^th May 2023 at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Spain

This event is organised by ECMWF and hosted by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

The scientific theme of this meeting will be  Atmospheric Composition and impacts on Numerical Weather Prediction  and the programme will include keynote presentations from invited speakers, as well as contributed presentations and posters, related to this theme or to wider research involving the OpenIFS model. Practical sessions are planned with a focus on introducing the new OpenIFS/AC model to the community, including a brief introductory session for new OpenIFS users on the first day.  An important aspect of the user meeting is the opportunity for new and experienced OpenIFS users to meet and to network (with social events!) and to showcase their use of OpenIFS.
