This training plan describes the components of and the plans for education activities included in WP7 of APPLICATE. To optimize the efforts, the training plan has been prepared at the beginning of the project, outlining not only the activities itself, but plans for their implementation as well as the expected risks and interdependencies. The major training activities planned include (1) a webinar series on the APPLICATE project and on the impact of Arctic changes on the weather and climate of the Northern hemisphere, (2) a summer school planned for 2018 on polar prediction with instruction in both modeling and observational methods, (3) an online course entitled „Advancing Predictive Capability of Northern Hemisphere Weather and Climate.“ This document provides details on both the planned activities themselves and the approach by which they will be accomplished. The webinar series was held in fall 2017 and served as an introduction for the APPLICATE project to the early career polar science community. The summer school was based on a previously-run school organized by the Year of Polar Prediction. It took place at Abisko Station, Sweden, from 17 - 27 April 2018. The school was organized by a project manager based at UiT, with help from APPLICATE members, other partners and volunteers from the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS). Finally, the online course will run from September to December 2019 with the aim to train early career researchers and prepare them for careers in Northern Hemisphere prediction science.
