Summary

The Stakeholders’ Perspectives webinar series aims to understand the needs related to climate services and their standardisation from the stakeholders' point of view. In this session, we celebrated the official launch of the Climateurope2 Platform, a virtual space created to support the daily work of the climate services community.

This webinar session took place the 27 November 2025, from 13:00 to 14:30 CET. During the webinar, participants had the chance to discover the platform  and how it can support their work through a live walkthrough, guided by the project partners who developed it. 

• Tjerk Krijger is project engineer working at MARIS B.V, which is a prominent organisation specializing in Marine and Oceanographic Data Management and Access services on a European scale. Tjerk holds a Master’s degree in hydraulic engineering from the Delft University of Technology.

• Kelsey Bailey is a product designer on the Knowledge Integration Team at the BSC. Her work involves researching and designing digital products from low fidelity wireframes to high fidelity prototypes.

• Prof Dr Arno Scharl is the Managing Partner of webLyzard technology and a Professor of Information Systems at the Research Center for New Media Technology of MU Vienna. His current research interests focus on SDG open source intelligence, visual analytics, AI-based impact metrics, information visualisation, and the integration of semantic and geospatial technology. 

Climate services are essential to help society adapt to and mitigate climate change, but the field still faces challenges such as low awareness, limited collaboration, and a lack of common standards. The Climateurope2 Platform addresses these issues by fostering dialogue, knowledge sharing, and co-creation of good practices and resources.
