The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), with the support of the Alpine Convention, organised an online workshop dedicated to the use of climate data and services in the Alpine region. The workshop took place on Tuesday, 11 March 2025.

This half-day event was designed for scientists, policy officers, and practitioners who use or are interested in using C3S data for their work in the field of climate change.

Benefits for participants

This transboundary user workshop was a unique opportunity for interested individuals and organisations to:

• learn about C3S services and how they can benefit your activities,
• exchange about your potential interest and requirements on the use and application of C3S data and services, on priority issues for the Alps and
• network with professionals who use climate services to improve the resilience of the Alpine territories.

The workshop took place online and was divided into plenary and breakout group sessions. Following introductory presentations by the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the Alpine Convention, participants could explore the functionalities and latest updates of the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS). Several projects utilising climate data in priority sectors were also presented and discussed.

The second half of the workshop aimed to interact with the Alpine user community and was dedicated to sharing experiences and needs regarding climate data and C3S products on specific key topics for Alpine stakeholders.
