During this period, in 2020, he completed an internship at the Earth Sciences Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC), where he subsequently continued working as a Research Engineer. 
 +\\ 
 +In October 2021, he began his doctoral studies in Physics at the University of Barcelona, conducting his research in the Earth System Services group of the Earth Sciences Department at the BSC. His pre-doctoral stage lasted until September 2025, when he obtained his PhD with a grade of Excellent Cum Laude with his thesis ‘Some considerations about the climate variability and change in the Mediterranean region’. 
 +\\ 
 +During his PhD, he actively participated in international conferences and workshops, and from September to December 2023 he undertook a research stay at the University of Buenos Aires, in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (DCAO). He is a member of the ESMValTool Scientific Development Team and has contributed to the development and dissemination of several software packages for climate data analysis.

 +**Bio:** Sara Octenjak is a researcher at the Knowledge Integration Team of ESS group, using participatory methods to co-produce climate services and to assess their impact. She investigates how climate information can be used to leverage adaptation in society, notably in energy and agriculture across Europe and Africa. With a Bachelor’s in Political Science and a Master's in International Energy from SciencesPo Paris, Sara contributes to European and Spanish projects such as FOCUS-Africa, OptimESM, TerraDT and BOREAS. She leads tasks on stakeholder engagement, impact assessment, and co-creation of climate services, guided by a commitment to equitable, inclusive practices that support a just ecological transition.

 **Bio**: Verónica Torralba studied Physics and a Master in Meteorology and Geophysics at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) in Spain, where she acquired a background in climate sciences. She joined the Climate Forecasting Unit (CFU) at the Catalan Institute of Climate (IC3) in October 2013 where she worked on the adaptation of the existing tools in the CFU unit to create the necessary material for the development of climate services for the wind energy sector. After that, She joined the Earth Sciences Department at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center where She did a PhD thesis while she was involved in different European Projects (EUPORIAS, SPECS, NEWA, S2S4E) and national initiatives (RESILIENCE). The overall aim of my Ph.D. was the assessment of different statistical post-processing methods to produce high-quality and tailored seasonal forecasts for wind energy applications. In 2020, She joined the climate simulations and predictions group at the Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) where she did a postdoc on the development of methods to enhance climate information for stakeholders in sectors such as insurance or renewable energy (hydropower), with a focus on the development of statistical methods such as machine learning and hybrid statistical-dynamical models that can be used to provide useful knowledge on extreme weather and climate events. **Bio**: Verónica Torralba studied Physics and a Master in Meteorology and Geophysics at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) in Spain, where she acquired a background in climate sciences.

-In 2023, she returned to BSC for a new postdoctoral position focused on sub-seasonal and seasonal forecasting for climate services across different industrial sectors. In this role, she serve as co-leader of a work package in the ASPECT project and act as principal investigator, alongside Albert Soret, for the national project BOREAS (https://www.bsc.es/research-and-development/projects/boreas-blending-knowledge-climate-predictions-and-projections-make). +In 2023, she returned to BSC for a new postdoctoral position focused on sub-seasonal and seasonal forecasting for climate services across different industrial sectors.
