🧠 How Hackathons Build Better #ClimateResearch Communities – A New #PolicyBrief

Our final #nextGEMS Policy Brief is here—and it brings a fresh perspective: “Building User Communities around Next-Generation Earth System Models.”

While our first brief focused on bridging science and society, this one looks inward: How do we design research projects that foster #collaboration, creativity, and real-world #impact

Drawing on experiences from the series of nextGEMS #hackathons, the brief shows how these spaces:

- Enable peer learning across disciplines and expertise levels
- Spark new scientific collaborations and networks
- Offer #CoCreation formats that build trust and shared ownership of climate model development

🏛️ Aimed at the EU’s research and innovation community—especially those who design, fund, or manage large projects—this brief offers practical recommendations:

- Embed collaborative events into project design
- Create intentional structures that support long-term #community-building
- Focus on the societal relevance of scientific outputs from day one

These insights go beyond nextGEMS: they speak to the future of climate research itself.

📥 Read and download both briefs from the media library now.

📢 News from #nextGEMS: Our latest #PolicyBrief is out—“Reaching the Last Mile with Km-Scale #EarthSystemModels.”

It highlights how km-scale models deliver sharper #climate insights, especially on extreme weather and regional projections. But better data ≠ better #policy—yet.

🔑 Key proposals:
Support transdisciplinary #collaboration
Remove barriers to data access
Recognise & retain early-career talent
Build public-private partnerships for future-ready infrastructure

We call on policy-makers and funders to help ensure this cutting-edge science reaches its societal potential.

👀 A second brief is coming soon—stay tuned!
