Climate service is obliged to develop and provide information products, data and advices based on past, present and future climate for the business community, policies and public institutions. The information about climate, climate change and its impacts on natural on human systems is tailored to suit specific user needs including user specific guidance of how to use the information.
There are several European organizations involved in climate services. Although institutional arrangements differ, the climate service objectives and climate service customers are rather similar. There are various ongoing incorporating activities for climate related communities with different focus e.g. the Joint Program Initiative (JPI) on climate or the European Climate Service Initiative. Still, with regard to Horizon 2020, the climate service community requires a first network for a potential proposal in 2015 and to discuss the development and impact of upcoming climate service products.
The session will be informal but is intended to proceed plans for joint activities in the development of prototypes of climate service products in regards to following questions:
- How to collect ideas of prototypes from the community in an effective manner without duplication of efforts?
- How to organize the transition from a prototype to the phase of operationalization of a product?
Wider impact and conclusions
This Session may be used to build up a first network on a potential joined proposal for Horizon 2020.

Description of work
Under the lead of the Climate Service Center (CSC) this informal session is planned to be without regular presentations. Depending on the number of participants all members introduce their institutions, its activities on climate service and if possible existing examples of a climate service product. The contributions will be collected as key notes arising thereby, a number of climate service prototypes. The follow up discussion is used for outlining lessons learned within the development and provision of climate information. By focussing on the dialogue of the users with the climate service community, strategies for enhancing technical means of climate service shall be extracted. The collection of existing examples helps to generate ideas for upcoming new products and above helps to discover similarities or even doubling of climate service activity. Analysing the lessons learned helps to gain deep insight into the transition process from prototypes to operational products .
