The IDMP Virtual Exchange Platform has been launched by the IDMP in March 2020 in order to strengthen the communication with partners and to share activity updates and opportunities to interact throughout the year.
This page contains the documentation of each of the past virtual exchanges. For IDMP partners who have a question or comment on the contents of a past virtual exchange or who would like to contribute to an IDMP activity, please contact us at idmp@wmo.int.
