Strategic partnership formed between NCMS and WeatherTech GCC

National Center of Meteorology & Seismology (NCMS), the UAE’s official source of meteorological and seismic data, announced its partnership with WeatherTech GCC to organize the first conference to gather GCC meteorology experts to optimize next generation technologies to revolutionize the collection, analysis and distribution of meteorological & climatological data and services in the GCC.

WeatherTech GCC will take place at the Sheraton Grand Hotel, Dubai, on Sept. 16 and 17. The event will feature speakers that are innovators, practitioners and leaders in their fields. This interactive and engaging event platform will share examples of regionally applied best practice, ground-breaking solutions and insights into new technologies as well as discuss the integration of existing systems and operations and the need for better communication to share intelligence between nations.

The format of this event will, in addition to providing a premium conference experience, provide a hub for new connections, exhibition space for solution providers, informal coffee networking breaks and a business lunch in order to enable networking with industry peers, regulators and suppliers.

2015 sees the inaugural cycle of the UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science, when up to five projects will be selected as winners for the total grant of $5 million (USD) that will be awarded over a three year period. The prize winning project proposals will be announced and honored at a ceremony in Jan. 2016.
