This year, METTOOLS XII focused on eco-meteorological tools for sustainable change. Topics included the development of advanced measurement and modeling methods, the creation of prototype tools and the application experiences derived from them. The conference formed an important bridge between environmental meteorological research and practical fields of application and promoted a comprehensive exchange of ideas between the participants.
The program included expert discussions divided into three main sessions and three interesting panel discussions. The event was held as a hybrid conference, which allowed for broader participation by overcoming geographical barriers.

Renewable energy and its impact on the urban climate were also among the topics discussed in the presentations. These sessions provided valuable insights and stimulated a meaningful exchange of ideas. Each presentation was followed by dynamic and stimulating discussions in which participants were able to share knowledge and experiences. Participants also benefited from the opportunity to engage with experts on the challenges of their current projects, fostering a collaborative and solution-oriented environment.
