I see that Barcelona's bid to host @CopernicusECMWF service is out. A stroll down La Rambla after meetings and stuff does sound appealing and of course it's close to the very beautiful #Barcelona Supercomputer centre

For fairness, here is Ireland's bid for #ECMWF Copernicus service. I suppose a pint in Dublin after meetings would also be pretty nice and it'd be great to see more of @EmilyGleeson10 + Met Eireann colleagues...

Ok, and for followers of the thread here is Toulouse (ht @benmsanderson ) - indeed a lovely spot and possibilities for both decent rugby and skiing nearby in the winter. Not to mention our very well respected @meteofrance colleagues. https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/toulouse-ecmwf
Another addition to the list from our German neighbours who have a very generous suggestion of Bonn. (Ht @TeresaValkonen)

I've never actually been to Bonn, but Germany definitely gets extra points for the Duck video

For completeness, @ed_hawkins reminds us that depending on the post- #Brexit transition agreement the UK may also be eligible to host Copernicus at the University of Reading, just down the road from the current location https://www.reading.ac.uk/news-and-events/releases/PR849339.aspx
