16th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa
16-20 September 2024
Cotonou, Benin

EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa

The purpose of the EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa is to sustain the well established dialogue between EUMETSAT and the African user community, in particular the National Meteorological Services and their regional centres. The overall objective is to facilitate the access and use of data from EUMETSAT’s operated satellites (inc. Meteosat, Metop and Sentinels) to support decision making in various socio-economic sectors. The Forum provides the opportunity to exchange on various project and initiative, and identify actions that could be taken by EUMETSAT and its partners to better meet the requirements of the African users and to support implementation of the Integrated African Strategy on Meteorology (Weather and Climate Services). 

The EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa is organised every two years.

The next Forum will take place on 13-16 September 2022 in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.
