On the 31st of August, twelve students, from the Master in Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering at the Amsterdam AMS Institute, spent one day at the HM&Co laboratory. They visited the pilot sites Blue Green Wave and Taranis Observatory. During two interactive workshops, they had the opportunity to manipulate rainfall data and evaluate the new interface for the users of the X-band radar data. The study trip was also an opportunity to meet the researchers of HM&Co and exchange about development and evaluation of green infrastructures for more liveable cities,data management, multi-scale analysis, current innovations in Paris and Amsterdam.
