We are delighted to announce that the CORDEX International Project Office (CORDEX-IPOC) will be hosted jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) in Oxford, UK - with the Working Arrangement now completed—and the University of Cape Town (UCT), with the Working Arrangement  to be finalized in the coming days.

This new structure ensures robust international collaboration, coordination and continued excellence in coordinating CORDEX’s global efforts on regional climate downscaling, model evaluation, projections, and user engagement worldwide.

The transition builds on the successful 10-year tenure at Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). Recruitment of the new IPO Director, to be based at ESA will be completed soon.

The email address ipoc@cordex.org is still valid, however emails are forwarded to and handled by Maureen Wanzala at the WCRP Secretariat.
