8th European Meteorological Society (EMS) Annual Meeting in Holland 29 September - 3 October 2008
The next EMS and the 7th European Conference on Applied Climatology will be held in Amsterdam, at the RAI Conference Center. There will be an exhibition associated with the event.

The HMEI Secretariat will attend and run the HMEI booth, donated free thanks to EMS. The HMEI Chairman, at the invitation of EMS, will give an Opening Address at the Welcome Ceremony of the Conference.

The 2008 EMS and related conferences will be focused around the recent concerns on climate change and adaptation. For example the 7th European Conference on Applied Climatology to be held in conjunction with EMS 2008 has previewed a programme with two themes: Understanding of Climate and Adaptation to Climate, with the focus on applications for decision support and spatial planning on climate.

The organisers are looking to make the 2008 EMS events serve as a "platform where experts and scientists of the European meteorological and atmospheric community meet private and public stakeholders to communicate about applications for understanding of and adaptation to today’s and tomorrow’s climate."

A more detailed programme is available at http://meetings.copernicus.org/ems2008

Exhibitor opportunities will be an important feature of this conference and information is available at: http://meetings.copernicus.org/ems2008 The exhibition will be located in Ruby Lounge of the conference venue the Amsterdam RAI.
