By this time yesterday, we were seeing everyone again for the Climate Research Communication Network 6th Meeting! We kept doing what this network does best:connect project/comm managers & DEC people from EU climate projects so we don’t all reinvent the wheel &so we can amplify each other’s work💪🌍

6 EU-funded climate & Earth system modelling projects—@esm2025.bsky.social, @optimesm-eu.bsky.social, @tipesm.bsky.social, @climtip.bsky.social, @rescueclimate.bsky.social & NextGEMS—came together for a clustered science-to-policy meeting to present insights.💬🌐 ukesm.ac.uk/climate-rese...

Amazing time at Researchers’ Night at SMHI 🎉 It was inspiring to see such strong interest from enthusiastic people to learn about modeling, AI, data and clouds☁️🌊🌿 Great collaboration with @optimesm-eu.bsky.social, @tipesm.bsky.social & Climateurope2💡 buff.ly/0ysJ0EC #ClimateResearch #ESM

Check out the article 'Enhanced risk of hot extremes revealed by observation-constrained model projections' by Claudia Simolo & Susanna Corti published earlier this year in Communications earth & environment: doi.org/10.1038/s432...

🤝 Last week, RESCUE participated in a joint policy meeting hosted by @esm2025.bsky.social This brought together policy officers and European projects with common themes & approches (OptimESM, TipESM, ClimTip, nextGEMS) to present their latest policy-relevant results and discuss the research impact.
