[Medin_dacwg] Save the Date: Met Office Climate Data Challenge

[Postlethwaite, Clare]

Dear MEDIN DAC Working Group,
please consider getting involved with the Met Office's Climate Data Challenge (it's a virtual hackathon). I've been promoting MEDIN and its DACs as the key source for UK marine data and it would be great to have you involved.
There's a link to register your interest at the bottom of the email (or an email address if that doesn't work).
I hope you are all keeping well.
Best wishes,
Clare

Helping people stay safe and thrive in a changing climate



The Met Office invites you to join us in a virtual hackathon where we aim to build society’s resilience to climate change. We would like you to join us and other key stakeholders in a two-day event on 16-17 March aimed at finding new ways to use data to help us deal with the challenges and exploit the opportunities of our changing climate.



Bringing together people with diverse skillsets and backgrounds, we’re interested in exploring fresh ways to visualise climate data such as UK Climate Projections (UKCP) and how to combine it with other types of data to produce new and innovative tools that help us make society more resilient. Working in teams, the most relevant outputs will have the opportunity to be showcased at CoP26 in Glasgow, which will attract Heads of State, policy makers, scientists and other stakeholders from almost every nation in the world.



In this event we will focus on challenges in 3 key themes:



  1.  Marine and Coastal
  2.  Nature Based Solutions
  3.  Sustainable Development at Home and Abroad



The hackathon will be delivered virtually and make use of a range of tools to share information and encourage collaboration between teams.



How can I get involved?



On the afternoon of Tuesday 2 March we will be hosting a virtual pre-event where you can find out more about the challenges, form teams and learn about the data that may be relevant.



We are currently asking interested parties to contact us so we can keep you updated. To register your interest in the event and receive further information click below to send us an email. To help us with our planning, please include:



  *   The name of the organisation you represent
  *   Which theme or combination of themes you are most interested in



Registering your interest is not a commitment to attend the event - we will only use your email address to send information relevant to the hackathon and the pre-event – We will send out more information and details on how to register over the next few weeks with registration available from 20th January. Please also forward this on to others within your organisations that may be interested.
