The ICEM2025 team is excited to share the Speakers and Programme with you!
This year, ICEM focuses on “Contributing to the Net Zero Emission Target”, highlighting actionable strategies and innovative collaborations to meet today’s climate and energy challenges.
With a dynamic programme that bridges science, industry, and policy, ICEM 2025 offers thought-provoking plenary talks, parallel oral and poster sessions, interactive panel discussions and workshop sessions, and vibrant social events. A free on-site Copernicus Climate Change Service Energy-Climate Workshop will take place on 2 June 2025, just ahead of the main conference.
Designed to spark dialogue, inspire action, and foster meaningful connections, the programme empowers participants to drive change within their organisations and across the global energy–climate landscape.
Don’t miss our engaging workshops and panel sessions, where cross-sectoral insights and real-world applications take centre stage:
Tuesday, 3 June 2025 | 16:10–18:00 CEST
- The Role of Meteorologists in Achieving Net-Zero Energy Systems
- Maximising Reanalysis Data Value for Energy Sector Use
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning for Energy and Climate Applications
Wednesday, 4 June 2025 | 16:10–18:00 CEST
- “So, you want to start a weather/climate business?”
- Education, Collaboration & Engaging Stakeholders
- Resilience Across Timescales
The poster programme includes a one-minute oral presentation, giving each presenter the opportunity to briefly summarise their work. This session is scheduled at the start of each of the two poster sessions, lasting approximately 30 minutes. Posters will remain on display throughout the conference. A prize will be awarded for the best poster.
Below, you will find the full programme.
