The FAME Flagship continues the fruitful collaboration that FMI has conducted with the involved universities. In weather and climate research, a strong foundation in physical expertise, combined with advanced computational, numerical, and statistical methods, is essential. FAME will further enhance the visibility and impact of the research and its results across various sectors of society.
