Nordic Centers of Excellence eSTICC (eScience Tools for Investigating Climate Change in Northern

High Latitudes) and EmblA (Ensemble methods for environmental prediction)

Fourth yearly meeting and general assemblyHelsinki

Wed 27th to Fri 29th September 2017

Venue: Dynamicum, Finnish Meteorological Institute, Erik Palmenin aukio 1 (see maps below).It takes about 45-60 minutes to get to Dynamicum from the airport via public transport (train+bus), and taxi takes roughly 30 min. For public transport you can use the route planner reittiopas.fi (also in English, you can use simple terms like “Dynamicum” and “Helsinki-Vantaa airport” in the address fields). There are also additional English instructions on how to get to Dynamicum in http://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/how-to-find-dynamicum .
