Model representatives of all 4 global hydrological models convened in Frankfurt the whole day of 24 August, 2018. They discussed the current results of the historical time period simulations. In addition, the simulation protocol was finalized (Milestone M1), and decisions for the implementation of the future time period simulations to be conducted next, were made.

Within the scope of the activities of CO-MICC, the ESO-UMR 6590-CNRS laboratory organised a two-day methodology workshop in cooperation with the partners from the three Maghreb countries (MAT), held at the university of Le Mans, France, on 4-5 July 2018. This workshop aimed at getting to know the researchers and the fields of research for

In May 2018, two scientists from the CO-MICC team interviewed 13 water and climate-change experts in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. A key result of the interviews was that the challenges facing the three countries are similar for the Mediterranean and Atlantic coast region in regard to their experiences with water shortage. Interviewed experts came from

The first project meeting with all project partners was held as a video conference in June. The main objectives included discussions on the outputs of the modelling group activities and the planning of the stakeholder workshops.

Planning of the infrastructure for the CO-MICC web portal to visualize model results and their uncertainties.

The major outcome of the meeting was an agreed set of simulations covering different aspects of uncertainty and outputs as well as planning common activities pending the next meeting.

The kick-off meeting took place in December. The main objectives included planning common activities pending the next meeting as well as embedding CO-MICC in further ERA4CS activities.
