JSC-41

18–22 May 2020

The WCRP Joint Scientific Committee Session is an annual meeting where the leaders of the WCRP research community discuss progress towards the Programme's objectives and make decisions that will determine the future direction of the Programme.

The 41st Session of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee (JSC-41) was conducted as an online meeting due to the travel restrictions and health implications of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). The online Session proceeded in a condensed format, focusing on core JSC business.

The attendance of JSC-41 was by invitation only. 

The final report is now available: Report of the 41st Session of the Joint Scientific Committee
