About the centre
The International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm (IMI) conducts research in meteorology and associated fields, and promotes international scientific co-operation within meteorology. A central function of IMI is to provide opportunities for foreign scientists to work and interact in Sweden. IMI also publishes the scientific journals Tellus A and Tellus B.
The International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm (IMI) was created in 1955 by a decision of the Swedish Parliament with the objective to conduct research in meteorology and associated fields and to promote international scientific co-operation within meteorology. This decision was a result of initiatives taken by professor Carl-Gustaf Rossby, eight years after founding the Department of Meteorology. Today, while remaining an independent institute, IMI works as an integral part of the Department of Meteorology at the Faculty of Sciences at Stockholm University.
IMI is governed by a Board and a Director. The Board and the Director are appointed by the President of Stockholm University.
Visiting programme and workshops
IMI’s most important function is to maintain lively international collaborations.
IMI organizes a visiting programme that provides opportunities for foreign scientists to work in Sweden for varying periods of time, in close collaboration with Swedish colleagues. IMI also supports workshops in Sweden with a focus on developing new research ideas in meteorology and related fields.
