Challenges and potential cooperation opportunities Our thematic networks requires VIRTUAL DISCUSSION SPACES. The information that we are generating could be shared on line with other partners to generate risk scenarios or another applications very useful for Disasters prevention and Mitigation The region requires to run ocean and atmosphre models using local data. We need to increase the number of beneficiaries of our information. We are trying to implement e-repositories for the region related with Climate applications. E-learning could be applied on Climate Risk management, modeling and data analysis. CIIFEN will be very pleased to promote EELA benefits across the region and will seek funding opportunities to implement Climate applications within EELA framework
