**About ECMWF**:
The **European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)** is a world-leader in weather and environmental forecasting. As an international organisation we serve our members and the wider community with global weather predictions and data that is critical for understanding and solving the climate crisis. We function as a 24/7 research and operational centre with a focus on medium and long-range predictions, holding one of the largest meteorological data archives in the world. The success of our activities builds on the talent of our scientists and experts, strong partnerships with 35 Member and Co-operating States and the international community, some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, and the use of innovative technologies and machine learning across our operations. ECMWF is a multi-site organisation, with a main office in Reading, UK, a data centre/supercomputer in Bologna, Italy, and a large presence in Bonn, Germany. ECMWF has also developed a strong partnership with the European Union and has been entrusted with the implementation and operation of the Destination Earth Initiative and the Climate Change and Atmosphere Monitoring Services of the Copernicus Programme. Other areas of work include High Performance Computing and the development of digital tools that enable ECMWF to extend provision of data and products covering weather, climate, air quality, fire and flood prediction and monitoring.

**The Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative**:
ECMWF is one of the three entities entrusted to implement the **DestinE initiative of the European Commission**, alongside with ESA and EUMETSAT as partners. DestinE aims to deploy several highly accurate thematic digital replicas of the Earth, called Digital Twins.The Digital Twins will help monitor and predict environmental change and human impact, in order to develop and test scenarios that would support sustainable development and corresponding European policies for the Green Deal. ECMWF is responsible for the delivery of these digital twins and of the Digital Twin engine, the software infrastructure needed to power them of some of Europe’s largest supercomputers, those of the European HPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC).

**Background**:
ECMWF is developing a world-leading, machine learning-based probabilistic weather forecasting system to complement our existing physics-based system. A range of novel machine learning approaches will be investigated for improved quality and efficiency of forecasts, also as part of ECMWF’s contribution to the Destination Earth initiative. A team of scientists and engineers in ECMWF are working collaboratively across the Centre and in our Member and Cooperating States to undertake this challenge.

**Your responsibilities**:
Implement the new Innovation Challenge on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal (S2S) Predictions using AI/ML through:

- Plan and implement the new innovation challenge
- Drive an engaging promotion campaign to stimulate interest amongst participants and highlighted the added-value of improved S2S predictions in the context of DestinE and in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
