ECMWF Code for Earth is an innovation programme run by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Its aim is to drive innovation and open source developments in the Earth sciences community - supporting developments in weather and climate, the two Copernicus services (Copernicus Climate Change Service and Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) and Destination Earth.
Since 2018, each summer, developer teams work together with experienced mentors from ECMWF and partner organisations on innovative projects. These projects are related to the broad scope of activities at ECMWF, including data science, weather, climate or other earth sciences, visualisation and more.

Congratulations to the teams that have been selected to be part of Code for Earth 2024:
Our mid-term webinars are fast approaching.
In early May, the coding phase of Code for Earth 2024 started with 13 projects, covering 12 challenges, 52 participants and 40 mentors. The teams have dived into their work and will showcase their progress during the upcoming mid-term webinars on 17 and 25 July from 3 pm-4:30 pm CEST.
The webinars promise to be insightful sessions in which the state of play, current achievements and impactful outcomes so far will be shared. This is your opportunity to find out more about the talented projects selected for this year's edition of Code for Earth and learn about the innovative approaches they've adopted to deliver a suite of tools for Data Visualisation, Machine Learning and Software Development in the realm of Earth Sciences.
If you're an expert working in these fields or an aspiring Code for Earth applicant you can't miss these events! Register now on Code for Earth website.
Browse through the Code for Earth challenges, ask questions and together with the mentors, tailor your proposal. Submit your proposal by 09 April 2024. For eligibility of participation, please check the Code for Earth Terms & Conditions.
The selected Code for Earth 2024 project teams will be announced on 29 Apr 2024.
The four-month long coding period starts on 02 May 2024 and ends on 31 August 2024. During this time, the selected teams will work with their Code for Earth mentors. These are experts in earth sciences like weather, climate and climate change, atmosphere and air quality or in technology areas like AI/ML, cloud computing, applied data science or open source software development.
The Code for Earth day is a celebratory completion of the programme. This year the event will be hosted at ECMWF's headquarters in Reading, Uk. Teams will be invited to present their project results.
Successfully completed projects will receive a €5,000 stipend.
