EBIN and MET Office investigate novel E-Commerce Solutions for UK National Weather Service

Three of our EBIN students are helping the MET Office, the leading UK weather forecasting service, to define innovative E-commerce solutions. This is part of the students’ industrial summer project and will become the basis for their dissertations. The primary aim of the project will be to increase commercial revenue and to promote the visibility and reputation of the Met Office brand.

The Met Office is a leading brand for weather forecasting in the UK. With world leading scientists in both meteorology and climate research, the Met Office produces a variety of commercial services from weather forecasts for aviators and utility customers to climate consultancy from our prestigious Met Office Hadley Centre. Owned by the Ministry of Defence our Government duties span from working alongside the military both in the UK and abroad to fulfilling our public weather service obligations through our website and the media.
