Member States and Co-operating States

All applications must be submitted through the relevant National Meteorological Service using ECMWF's application form. Additional application forms are available either from the National Meteorological Services or direct from ECMWF (pdf).

Applications from universities or similar institutions within the Member States and Co-operating States must be channelled through, and supported by, the National Meteorological Service. A copy of the application form should also be sent direct to ECMWF.

ECMWF does not charge course fees for participants from Member States and Co-operating States.

One student per Member State is entitled to reimbursement of travelling expenses.

International Organizations

Applicants from International Organizations should apply direct to ECMWF. For these organizations course fees are payable (for details please contact E. Kooij-Connally, address below). Because of pressure of space in some modules not all applications may be honoured.

Other States

Meteorologists from non-Member States of ECMWF* may apply to attend any of the modules of the course via the Secretary-General of WMO. A full curriculum vitae covering the academic background of potential participants is required.

The application form (pdf) must be completed and signed by the representative of the organization responsible for payment of course fees.
