Opening Workshop

The goal of the workshop is to assess the state of the art in the three action areas (1) UTLS datasets, (2) UTLS data assimilation, and (3) scientific data application. Furthermore, we want to use the workshop to consolidate the working groups and their program for the next 18 months. (More information about COST Action 723 as a whole can be found in the technical annex of the Memorandum of Understanding.)

Registration

To register, please fill out the registration form and send it to Susanne Korn <susanne@sat.physik.uni-bremen.de>. Please note that only a limited number of participants can be reimbursed by COST, furthermore there are some formal rules how these have to be distributed in terms of countries and working groups. The three working group chairmen together will try to make a fair and practical selection. But for us to do a good job it is important that you register as soon as possible. The extended deadline if you want to be considered for reimbursement is February 3. This is necessary because the final list has to be known to the COST Secretary by the end of the first week of February.

Please register in any case, also if you have been approached by us as an invited speaker, or if it is otherwise clear that you will participate. This just so that we get all the data together in a consistent way.

Participants

The file registration_data.xls contains all the data from the registration forms. Note: All the data in the file is as people gave it, with the exception that people were assigned to one and only 1 WG when their data was ambiguous. This is required by COST.

Practical Information

How to reach ESTEC is described in detail here. It is recommended that you stay in a hotel in Noordwijk. As a suggestion, the "Prominent Inn" or the "Mercure" are both directly at the sea shore. Reservations can be conveniently made through the ESTEC hotel reservation service. Just send an email to the ESTEC Hotel Reservation Service <estec.hotel@esa.int>, stating your preferred hotel and the time period. You will get a reduced rate if you book through ESTEC.
