---------------------------------------------------------------------
The main objective of the conference is to provide a forum for the dissemination of research accomplishments and to promote the interaction and collaboration between the models and data research communities. This international scientific event, initiated by researchers from Euro-Mediterranean countries, aims also at promoting the creation of north-south scientific networks, projects and faculty/student exchanges. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work that is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
