The Hydrometeorological Institute of Kosovo (IHMK), operating under the Kosovo Environmental Protection Agency (AMMK), has formalized a significant partnership by signing a Cooperation Agreement with EUMETNET, the European Network of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services. This accord represents a notable advancement for meteorological and climate services within kosovo, signaling deeper integration into the broader european professional community. According to an official announcement from the IHMK, this cooperation is structured to facilitate the modernization of the nation’s climate services.
Participation in EUMETNET’s established programs will provide direct access to advanced resources and methodologies. These programs include, but are not limited to, OPERA, E-WFC (covering both C-SRNWP and E-Nowcasting), specialized modules for Climate data, EUMETCAL, and Capacity Capability Area Management. Through this established cooperation framework, the IHMK anticipates substantial benefits derived from the exchange of critical data, specialized expertise, and professional development opportunities.
Furthermore, the Institute will gain exposure to recognized european best practices in the field. The primary objective of this partnership is to systematically elevate the overall quality and reliability of the meteorological and hydrological services provided across kosovo. By aligning its operations with international standards through the ihmk, the nation strengthens its capacity to monitor and forecast environmental conditions effectively.
