| Summary: | The Polar Prediction School was held from 17-27 April 2018 at the Abisko Scientific Research Station in northern Sweden. The training school brought together 29 students from nine different countries and at various career stages, from early PhD students through to post-docs. The programme for the school was designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the main aspects related to polar weather and climate prediction. It included theoretical lectures, practical exercises, meteorological fieldwork, and a dedicated science communication programme. This report provides an overview of the organisation behind the school, activities during the school, as well as lessons learnt from the survey completed after the event. A diverse course such as the Polar Prediction School, bringing together a wide set of students and lecturers, helps build and maintain the community needed to address the polar prediction problem, which is inherently multi-disciplinary. Overall, the school was a great success and we recommend this model be used for any future schools for early career researchers. |
