Process-based climate sIMulation: AdVances in high-resolution modelling and European climate Risk Assessment

To develop a new generation of advanced and well-evaluated high resolution global climate models, capable of simulation and predicting regional climate with unprecedented fidelity, for the benefit of governments, business and society in general. This includes adressing questions like: to what extent are recent heat waves, floods and droughts in Europe attributable to natural variability or human influences on the global climate system? How will the risk of such high impact events change over the next few decades and beyond?
