Kick-off meeting Paris 30 th and 31 rst of March 2009 Challenges for the ESM community To improve our understanding and prediction of future climate changes : - better account for the full complexity of the Earth system - better account for climate change on regional scales - enhance interactions with the impact community - disseminate knowledge on climate change European competitiveness and expertise: - Improve research infrastructure : models & world-class high-performance computers - Contribute to international expertise : CMIP 5/IPCC AR 5 - Better integrate countries new to the subject Action soutenue par la Région Ile de France

Kick-off meeting Paris 30 th and 31 rst of March 2009 Infrastructure for ENES • Euroclivar Concerted Action recommended in 1998 “a better integration of the European modelling effort with respect to human potential, hardware and software”. - develop collaboration - establish a European climate computing facility, - enhance the exchange of software and model results. • First started with PRISM under FP 5 : common coupler OASIS • ENES in 2001 Action soutenue par la Région Ile de France
