The Erasmus+ ClimEd project “Multilevel Local, Nation- and Regionwide Education and Training in Climate Services, Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation” (2021-2026; http://climed.network) completed all planned seven trainings (TR#) which are listed below. In general, the trainings gave to participants a possibility to obtain a large variety of important and useful skills, competencies, and learning outcomes (LOs, in total – 54). About 370 persons attended these trainings, with the largest number of participants (79) for the last training TR#7. The ClimEd project trainings were focused on training the faculty/ teaching/ research staff and postgraduates at the ClimEd partner institutions and collaborating organizations in advanced educational and information-and-communication technologies for building a flexible multi-level integrated practice-based education system in the field of Climate Services, Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation.
