Hi,

A reminder that the first period for community input on the ACCESS‑NRI Work Plan for FY26–27 is now open and will close on Monday, 16 March . If you haven’t already, please take a moment to share your feedback, through this form—your insights are essential to shaping the upcoming work plan.

We welcome all input, big or small, new ideas or projects already discussed, ideas on model development, usability, release, accessibility, evaluation, tools, etc.

You can find more information on the ACCESS-Hive forum.

Applications now open for the ACCESS-NRI PhD Internship Program!

This 3-month internship provides an opportunity to work alongside ACCESS-NRI staff on activities related to the development, testing, and release of climate models as well as the supporting software and data that underpin them.

Are you running an ACCESS-NRI supported model?

:globe_showing_asia_australia: Are you running any of these ACCESS-NRI supported models: ACCESS-AM, ACCESS-CM, ACCESS-ESM, ACCESS-rAM, or ACCESS-rCM? :globe_showing_asia_australia: :link: UKMO EULA signing page

If so, you will need to hold a valid MOSRS account and agree to the Terms of Use for the End User Licence Agreement (EULA) with the UK Met Office (UKMO) that allows ACCESS-NRI to distribute proprietary UKMO software to Australian research institutions.

ACCESS-NRI partner universities ANU, UNSW, UTas (including AAD), Monash Uni and UniMelb have recently signed an updated agreement outlining the conditions in this new EULA. Individuals affiliated with these partner universities are now being asked to read and accept the Terms of Use for the Agreement so they can continue accessing UKMO software and documentation. If this applies to you, please complete the UKMO Licensing process by following the steps on the UKMO EULA signing page. For verification purposes, you must have AAF Authentication on your ACCESS-Hive Forum account.

Please complete this by 8 May 2026 so that you can continue to use and access UKMO software and licensed material.

For more information and FAQs, see the post Accessing UKMO licensed models on the ACCESS-Hive Forum. If you encounter any problems, please send a message to the UKMO_Admin group on the ACCESS-Hive Forum.
