Partners
Currently, the following ten Universities are UPAS Partners. The UPAS strategy will create an innovative, nation-wide meteorological university community which supports students e.g. through high-quality, efficient and standardized core meteorological teaching at each university via developing, sharing and exchanging appropriate material, methods and modules. UPAS will intensify the cross-institutional cooperation by increasing the setup, use and efficiency of distributed infrastructures together with non-university atmospheric research institutes to propel coordinated research and international partnerships.

Goals
The purpose of UPAS is both to consolidate and strengthen meteorology as a subject at German universities through more coordinated research and teaching with new cross-university concepts and modules, as well as to strengthen the visibility of meteorology both at home universities and in the public as a demanding and interesting field of study with a high impact on society.
This is to be achieved through the following objectives:
-
Provide a platform for strategic consultation and support to advance meteorology as a university field of study
-
Support meteorology student networking
-
Attract suitable students to study meteorology
-
Advance excellent education in meteorology with the help of cross-university teaching and incorporate applied study fields by linking up with relevant companies and authorities
-
Leverage synergies in personnel and instrumentation for successful science
-
Enhance public outreach
These goals are implemented by five work packages, which are managed at different locations.
