From 9th to 10th November 2023, the first face-to-face EDERA training workshop was held in Helsinki (Finland).

The training brought together the EDERA partners with the Finnish end users contributing to the evaluation of the EDERA products for real-time forecasting the impacts caused by storms and heavy rainfall. Their participation will support the EDERA demonstration (from August 2023 to November 2024).

During the workshop, the participants used the EDERA web-based platform integrating the EDERA products with local datasets adapted to the operation of the different end users.

Venue: Finnish Meteorological InstituteErik Palménin aukio, 1 – Helsinki, Finland
