IS-ENES3 Milestone M3.2 : Evaluation of the IS-ENES3 online Autumn School ‘Climate data use for impact assessments’ 4 November -11 December 2020

In November and December 2020 the IS-ENES3 consortium organized an Autumn School on ‘Climate data use for impact assessments’. In October 2020, 20 participants were selected from a total of 74 applicants. The participants have valued the course highly and especially the work on the case studies, including the support from lecturers with those case studies. All lectures were seen as useful or very useful. The more practical lectures were valued the highest: how to use a data platform; what steps to take in a case study, how to estimate a climate impact with the data and tools that are available, even when the data are not ideal. Some participants would have preferred a live school, others the online version. Online meant a run time of six weeks, so they could spend more time on the case studies. This report evaluates the course and draws lessons for the coming Spring and Summer schools to be organized in 2021
