European research network improving early warning systems by combining multi-hazard approaches with extended-range forecasts, helping society prepare earlier and respond more effectively.
Latest Updates
Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, more intense, and more interconnected. Yet most forecasts still focus on single hazards and short timeframes.
ANTICIPATE brings together experts from across Europe to rethink how risks are understood, predicted, and communicated, moving from reactive responses to proactive preparedness.
How multiple hazards interact, from heatwaves and droughts to floods and storms, to better understand cascading and compound events.
Using extended-range predictions, we explore how risks can be anticipated weeks in advance, bridging the gap between weather and climate timescales.
We work with stakeholders to design clearer, more actionable early warning systems that support timely decisions and anticipatory action.
LOCATION: Université de Lorraine, Bridoux Campus, Metz, France
TARGET AUDIENCE: By invitation only
INVOLVED WG: 4, 5

ANTICIPATE delivers a wide range of activities and outputs
Regular meetings bring together experts from across disciplines to coordinate research efforts, share progress, and align on key priorities. These sessions foster collaboration and ensure coherence across all Working Groups.
ANTICIPATE organises training schools to equip early-career researchers and practitioners with cutting-edge knowledge and skills in multi-hazard prediction, forecasting, and early warning systems.
STSMs support research visits between institutions, enabling knowledge exchange, collaboration, and the development of innovative approaches to multi-hazard challenges across Europe.
The Action produces scientific publications and policy briefs to translate research findings into actionable insights, supporting decision-makers and stakeholders in risk management and early warning strategies.
A range of workshops and events engage researchers, stakeholders, and policymakers, promoting dialogue, co-design, and the practical application of multi-hazard forecasting and early warning solutions.
