The past few decades have brought enormous and rapid changes in practically all areas of human activity. The economical, social and political patterns now evolving in a globalized world are giving rise not only to new demands but also to far-reaching changes in many aspects of meteorological profession. These rapid changes also affect the educational processes. Technology is moving so fast that the education systems are now being required not only to transfer knowledge, or at least the necessary information, but also to create new learning attitudes.

In this context, the Centre aims at becoming a well-established source of continuing education and training in the field of meteorology, computer science and other related subjects.
