GEMS Final Assembly

The European GEMS project (Global Environmental Monitoring using Space and in-situ data)
has developed and implemented comprehensive data analysis and modelling systems for monitoring
the global distributions of atmospheric constituents important for climate and air quality,
and for monitoring and forecasting air quality and UV radiation, with a focus on Europe.
GEMS is a first step towards an operational system for atmospheric composition monitoring
under the EU/ESA GMES initiative.

The GEMS project ends in May 2009, and a final assembly will be organized at the
research centre Juelich, Germany, from 31st March to 3rd April, 2009. This assembly will
take the form of a symposium that presents and fosters discussion of the scientific and
technical basis needed for provision of user-oriented environmental information services
related to atmospheric composition. The meeting is open to all. All participants, whether
from the GEMS project (http://gems.ecmwf.int) or not, will have the opportunity to present posters on their work.
Oral presentations will be given by GEMS team members and selected invited speakers.

The programme consists of six half-day sessions and will begin on Tuesday, 31st March,
2009 at 14:00 h CET (GMT+1) and end on Friday, 3rd April, 2009 at 13:00 h CET. At the end
we will organize a panel discussion where you will have the opportunity to interact with
GEMS team leaders and advisors. The programme offers multiple opportunities for poster
viewing and discussions, and includes a conference dinner at the historic site Burg
Obbendorf.
