First Steering Committee for VIGICLIMM Project
🌐Partnering with 𝗠𝗙𝗜 is having access to world-class experts to train and strengthen the level of skill of your teams on specific topics. Indeed, through our filiation with Météo-France, we are in capacity to mobilize highly qualified specialists from the best scientific centers around the world in order for them to share their experience and their knowledge.
⛅ For example, during the month of October, within the 𝗠𝗗𝗣𝟮𝗚 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 we are carrying out for the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of Kuwait, we organized two 2-week training sessions for 14 staff members of the 𝗞𝘂𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶 𝗠𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 on the wide, complex and crucial topic of climatology and climate services.🧑🏼🎓The trainees assisted to classes given by experts from Météo-France , Copernicus ECMWF, KNMI - Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut and World Meteorological Organization on subjects as varied as:
✅ computation, homogenization & rescue of climate data,
✅familiarization with the concept of 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳,
✅ presentation of Copernicus’ Climate data Store,
✅or focus on climate services development for better adaptation policies in a context of global climate change, etc.
Of course, the presentation of MFI’s Climate Data Management System 𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗬𝗦 was also part of the training program.
🙏🏼 All these sessions were a wonderful opportunity for great scientific cooperation with many enriching exchanges, comparison of practices and share of knowledge. We thank all participants (trainees and trainers 😉) for their interest and commitment.

📅 Last week, we had the honor and the pleasure to organize, in Toulouse, the first Steering Committee of the VIGICLIMM Project, officially launched last February in Ivory Coast. The 3-day meeting gathered MFI and SODEXAM's main executives, including Mr. Jean-Louis MOULOT, Director of SODEXAM, Mr. Daouda KONATE, Director of the Ivorian National Met Department and Mr. Ahmed Coulibaly, Director General of Ivorian Air Transportation.
🎯 The seminar had for objective to review the progress of the different components of the project, to plan corrective actions if necessary, and organize activities for the months to come. The Committee was satisfied to see that the project is progressing at a good pace, according to the schedule initially agreed. 🌡The installation of observation equipment is well underway: qualification of the sites for the implementation of 27 automatic weather stations is completed and civil engineering work have started. 🖥 Concerning the IT component, pre-studies and specification work are currently being undertaken for all systems and purchase of hardware will soon be launched. 🏗 The construction project of a new 2500 sqm-building to host the activities of the National Meteorological Department is also on track, with the selection of a local engineering company and the realization of a preliminary design study. Lastly, MFI’s team has also made good progress on application aspects, especially concerning the design and development of a dedicated application for management of rice culture 🌾 .
🌤 Alongside the work meetings and to stretch their legs a little, the SODEXAM team had the opportunity to participate in an organized visit of METEO FRANCE’s Operational Center, including forecasting and server rooms, observation park, French National Meteorological School... the opportunity for Mr. Konate to go back down memory lane as he once was a student there 😉!
🙏🏽 We thank all members of the Steering Committee for their active and motivated participation. We’ll be happy to meet again in April for the second committee… this time in Ivory Coast!
