Timely, reliable information is vital to tackle climate change. But it is not always easy to find, navigate or use. The Maximising impact and accessibility of European climate research (MAIA) project brings together knowledge tools to bridge the gap between you and what is out there by transforming how you access, navigate and process information. This improves knowledge sharing, streamlines research and helps break down silos, empowering action.

The first MAIA Knowledge Tools Launch Event is a dynamic online session designed to explore and demonstrate how these tools support climate knowledge brokering, decision-making and research.
The webinar offers a unique opportunity to explore the potential of these innovative tools, which have been specifically designed to meet the needs of climate action practitioners and researchers.
The session will feature an introduction to each of the tools by their developers, followed by a chance to ask questions and follow up.
Afterwards, we will ask you to share your feedback via a short survey so we can continue to make the tools more relevant to your needs.
This session is ideal for anyone working with or seeking climate-related knowledge, data, communities, solutions or partnerships, including:
The webinar will take place on 23 April, from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST. It will be held online, and the webinar link will be shared upon registration.
