2015 – present Global Change Research Institute CAS (previous name Global Change Research Centre AS CR, v.v.i.)
The Clim4Cast forecasting tool was presented at the EGU General Assembly 2026 in Vienna by Lukáš Dolák. The original contribution was also chosen to be presented at a press conference for journalists, along with 17 other contributions out of a total of 20,000. Within the Press conference (https://www.egu.eu/gamedia/2026/press-conferences/#PC1), the most outstanding Clim4Cast outputs were introduced, including the forecasting tool. The attending journalists appreciated both the web platform and the tool. We honestly hope that this event contributed to spreading the word not only among journalists but also to the wider public and researchers.
