With just over two weeks to go until the Royal Meteorological Society’s Conference Week 2026, now is the time to secure your place.

Taking place at the University of Exeter this July, Conference Week brings together two of the Society’s flagship events: the Early Career and Student Conference and the Annual Weather and Climate Conference. Together, they offer an opportunity to connect with colleagues, share ideas, discover the latest science, and be part of the conversations shaping the future of weather and climate research.

Whether you’re a student taking your first steps into the profession or an established scientist looking to reconnect with the community, there’s something for everyone during Conference Week.

Early Career and Student Conference

The Early Career and Student Conference (ECSC) is a welcoming and supportive event designed specifically for students and early-career scientists.

If you’ve been looking for a friendly environment in which to present your research, build confidence, and receive constructive feedback, the ECSC provides exactly that. The conference is known for its encouraging atmosphere and offers a low-pressure space to share ideas with peers who understand the challenges and opportunities of being at a similar career stage.

Alongside presentations and posters, attendees can take part in workshops and discussions designed to develop skills, explore career pathways, and encourage discussion on topics that matter to the next generation of weather and climate scientists.

The ECSC is also a fantastic opportunity to meet other students and early-career professionals, expand your network, and see the exciting work being carried out across the community.

Annual Weather and Climate Conference

The Annual Weather and Climate Conference is one of the highlights of the meteorological calendar, bringing together hundreds of scientists, researchers, operational meteorologists, and practitioners from across the UK and beyond.

As a flagship RMetS event, it provides a unique opportunity to engage with the wider weather and climate community, hear the latest scientific developments, and gain insight into the research and innovations shaping the field.

With keynote presentations, scientific sessions, posters, workshops, and panel discussions, the conference offers a rich and varied programme covering the breadth of weather and climate science. It’s also an outstanding place to network, forge new collaborations, and reconnect with colleagues from across academia, industry, government, and operational forecasting.
