ESiWACE presented at ENES-RISe and FUTURA kick-off meetings in Milan

Two project kick-off meetings, one shared European challenge: preparing weather and climate modelling for the next generation of supercomputers.

This week, Mario Acosta from the BSC Earth Sciences Department presented ESiWACE4 at both the ENES-RISe and FUTURA kick-off meetings in Milan.

ESiWACE4, which Mario Acosta will coordinate from BSC starting in January 2027, will bring together leading European climate, weather and supercomputing centres.

The project will help weather and climate models make better use of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers and emerging artificial intelligence technologies. Its work will contribute to faster and more energy-efficient simulations, while making advanced computing knowledge, training and support available to a wider scientific community.

ENES-RISe will help make these advances accessible to climate modelling groups across Europe, while FUTURA will connect them with the simulations and data required for future international climate assessments.

Presenting ESiWACE4 at both meetings provided an opportunity to start building these connections before the project formally begins.

The common goal is not simply to produce faster simulations, but to strengthen Europe’s capacity to deliver reliable, detailed and sustainable weather and climate information.
