EXPECT Project

Ever wondered how will your region’s climate evolve in the coming years? The EXPECT @HorizonEU project is developing advanced tools to attribute and predict climate changes, including extreme summer events across Europe.🌡️🌦️ Find out more on our website🔗expect-project.eu

We don’t just advance climate science; we make it accessible. That’s the idea behind our Science Explainers! Researchers answer key questions about their work, from climate models to machine learning, making complex science clearer. Learn more: expect-project.eu/news/expect-la…

How can #DeepLearning support climate science? During a workshop in Hamburg, participants gained hands-on experience using deep learning methods on climate data, focusing on building robust and reproducible workflows for classification, gap-infilling, and downscaling. #EXPECT

Rain doesn’t just fall: it infiltrates soil, runs off surfaces, or returns to the atmosphere. 🌧️ Curious about how #EXPECT climate data helps build resilient engineering infrastructures? Our science explainer breaks it down in two pages! Click here: expect-project.eu/resource-categ…

Climate change is outpacing traditional infrastructure design. In our first EXPECT Science Explainer, Hamed D. Ibrahim explains how regional climate data supports resilient water & urban engineering. Read more: expect-project.eu/resource-categ… #ScienceExplainers #EXPECT

EXPECT launches Science Explainers 📢 Short questions, accessible explanations of what EXPECT researchers study, and why it matters for understanding regional climate change. First explainer launches next week. 👉 expect-project.eu/news/expect-la… #ScienceExplainers #EXPECT

As a proud member of the #ClimateResearchNet, we’re pleased to share the 'Social Media Strategy Wheel' jointly developed by @ClimTip_Project and @esm2025_eu! 👇 Learn more about this network: expect-project.eu/news/expect-be…

📊 How can AI enhance seasonal climate predictions? This study explores how #data-driven methods can strengthen seasonal forecasting by combining variational inference with transformer models to predict temperature and rainfall anomalies. Read the paper: expect-project.eu/resource/data-…

From climate modelling to clean tech innovation, female scientist help shape the solutions of tomorrow.🌍🔬 Yet they still face hurdles and are underrepresented in many STEM fields. On the #WomenInScience Day, we celebrate them and the next generation of climate scientists. 💚
