Delft-FEWS International User Days 2020
Observe to forecast - forecast to prepare
The Delft-FEWS International User Days 2020 were organized online for the first time.
Around 150 Delft-FEWS community members from many different countries joined the first and the second online event. The third event was attended by 120 participants. There were a lot of familiar faces present and even a couple of new community members. A big thank you to all the presenters, breakout hosts, chairs, and game masters for making this event a great success!
The presentations of the events on 2, 5, and 9 November can be viewed via the links below and via our VIMEO channel (recordings of the 3rd event).
We hope to meet you all next year, in Delft or online. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at fews-userdays@deltares.nl.
