This workshop welcomed participants from diverse backgrounds, including academia, industry, government departments, state agencies, professional organisations, and more to discuss how Destination Earth (DestinE) can be leveraged across different sectors in Poland to address critical environmental challenges.

Attendees had the opportunity to learn first-hand from ECMWF, ESA, and EUMETSAT, the entities spearheading DestinE, gain insights into its progress and discover available funding mechanisms for co-design and development.
