The joint HIRLAM All Staff Meeting (ASM) & 17th ALADIN Workshop took place on 23-26 April 2007 in Oslo, in the new premises of met.no’s R&D department. As was agreed at the 2006 Meeting, the ASM and Workshop largely had a common program, based on joint thematic sessions. One day in the programme was reserved for the two consortia separately. Prior to the ASM, a meeting of the HIRLAM Management Group and the ALADIN CSSI took place to discuss the common plans and activities.
General outline of the meeting:

  • Monday morning : a plenary session together with ALADIN, with presentations of common or special interest.
  • Monday afternoon and Tuesday : thematic (cross-consortium) sessions.
  • Wednesday, the consortia each had their own programme and discussion sessions.
  • Thursday morning : plenary session, in which the outcome of the thematic sessions was reported and discussed.

More details on the agenda (list of participants included).
