Training not only aims to improve the professional skills and competences of those working and being trained to work within APPLICATE, but it also provides a legacy for future generations of scientists and early career experts working in the fields of climate and weather prediction and modelling. APPLICATE therefore includes a strong training component with a set of tailor-made training activities that will be held throughout the duration of the project.

All training materials, recorded webinars, lectures and presentations from the summer school are provided as an open resource on the website of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS). Coordination of training activities and synergy with other on-going projects (e.g. YOPP, Blue Action, INTAROS) increases the impact, ensure cost-effectiveness and potentially help to get external funding.
