Met Office Climate Data Challenge

Met Office

The Met Office invites you to join us in a virtual hackathon where we aim to build society’s resilience to climate change.

We would like you to join us and other key stakeholders to find new ways of using data to help us deal with the challenges and exploit the opportunities of our changing climate.Bringing together people with diverse skillsets and backgrounds, we’re interested in exploring fresh ways to visualise climate data such as UK Climate Projections (UKCP) and how to combine it with other types of data to produce new and innovative tools that help us make society more resilient. Working in teams, the most relevant outputs will have the opportunity to be showcased at COP26 in Glasgow, which will attract Heads of State, policy makers, scientists and other stakeholders from almost every nation in the world. We are holding a pre-event on 2nd March 2021, 13.00-16.00. Further details will be sent to you post registration.Challenge themes:1. Marine and coastal2. Nature-based solutions3. Sustainable development Personal Information you provide during the registration of this event will only be used in relation to our event and will be processed in line with our privacy policy: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/legal/privacy We may take photos or record sessions during the event, these may be used for future events/social media and/or outputs at COP26. You will be made aware via MS Teams if a session is being recorded and asked if you mind having a screen shot/photo taken, so given the option to opt out if preferred.As part of the event, we hope to send you some sustainable and eco-friendly freebies before and after the event . For this we will need your address and dietary requirements. We are using a third party supplier to issue this to you and so the release of your personal information is entirely optional, if you do not want to provide this, no goodies will be sent to you before and/or after the event.Small note regarding pizza kits, sadly we can only send to UK based addresses as we cannot guarantee delivery on time or the quality of what arrives given its edible for non UK based addresses. We do plan to send a small token after the event which everyone UK and International will receive (only if you are willing to provide your address).Please note, any registrations completed after 12.00 on Friday 12th March will not receive a pre-event freebie. All registrations will receive a post event freebie providing they are willing to share their personal data used only for the purposes intended and then destroyed.
