Climate change is modifying the occurrence of extreme events, such as extreme precipitation, floods, droughts, cold waves or heatwaves, and their associated impacts. The objective of the project \u201c<em>EMPOwer ANDES societies to improve adaptation to climate change through the co-creation of climate services capacities<\/em>\u201d is to develop official education actions at different levels for students, professionals and citizens. It is the project of the Erasmus+ Call: ERASMUS-EDU-2025-CBHE (Capacity building in the field of higher education) and co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union under project# 101236788.<\/p>\n<p>EMPOANDES will encompass the local, national and regional scales to become a key channel to empower the Andean societies, organizations, governments and individuals to face climate change effects. The project will engage with the communities and put them in a central position to co-create, compute and communicate climate information through tools designed for decision-making. The project implies the elaboration of short-, medium- and long-term competency-based approaches to academic actions, courses, training and materials with the use of pedagogical techniques for training of specialists at various levels. The main field of the courses is climate services, but not only. EMPOANDES will induce progress in the access to climate information, capacity development on climate data tools and technologies, a deep understanding of the regional climate, improve the representation in climate models, and coupling with impact-based models is a severe gap in the state-of-art technology.<\/p>\n<p>The consortium targets the Andean region forming a multidisciplinary partnership composed of leading institutions from Europe (the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, the University of Patras, and the University of Helsinki) and Latin America (universities and national meteorological services from Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, and Bolivia), as well as key research centers like the Centro Internacional de Investigaci\u00f3n del Fen\u00f3meno del Ni\u00f1o, collaboratively addressing climate education and services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EMPOANDES WorkPackages (WPs):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WP1: Project Management and Coordination<\/p>\n<p>WP2: Definition of High Education Institutions and Community Needs<\/p>\n<p>WP3: Curricula Development<\/p>\n<p>WP4: Staff Capacity Building<\/p>\n<p>WP5: Piloting Capacity Development and Community Empowerment<\/p>\n<p>WP6: Dissemination and Communication<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Project Coordinator \u2013 Prof. Enric Aguilar Anfrons (enric.aguilar(at)urv.cat), Institut Universitari de Recerca en Sostenibilitat, Canvi Clim\u00e0tic i Transici\u00f3 Energ\u00e8tica (IU-RESCAT), Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), Spain<\/li>\n<li>Project Manager \u2013 Dr. Jon Xavier Olano Pozo (jonxavier.olano(at)urv.cat), Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), Spain<\/li>\n<li>UHEL Team Leader \u2013 Dr. Hanna K.
