How we work together

The activities of EUMETSAT and (EUMETNET) are complementary. EUMETNET is responsible for non-satellite observing systems, which complement EUMETSAT's satellite observation systems to provide national meteorological services optimum information.

EUMETSAT participates in the European Virtual Organisation for Meteorological Training (EUMETCAL) initiative, led by EUMETNET. EUMETCAL enables meteorological services to enhance their training capabilities through the development and provision of virtual training tools, an extensive training library, workshops, interactive learning modules and an integrated programme of courses.

Since 2010, EUMETSAT has also been a formal participant in the EUMETRep programme. This programme aims to represent the interests of EUMETNET members to European Union institutions.
