Student Community
The RMetS Student Community was formed in November 2003 in response to the huge interest received from all students attending the RMetS Conference 2003 which was held at the University of East Anglia.
The first annual conference of the RMetS Student Community followed, in Leeds, in 2004. Since then there has been a conference every year. In 2018 we held the "Evolution of Science: Past, Present and Future - Students & Early Career Scientist Conference" at the University of York.
The aims of the Community are as follows:
- To share research and knowledge in meteorology and related fields.
- To provide short presentations by invited speakers on career development with an opportunity to meet major employers in the field.
- To meet and socialise with students in similar fields and establish a strong student community within the RMetS.
Please contact students@rmets.org if you have any questions about the Student community.

Student Ambassadors
RMetS Student Ambassadors provide the link between the Society and universities/research institutions, thus supporting the Society by increasing awareness about membership and our latest activities within their local networks.
Volunteering as a Student Ambassador can also help promote meteorology as a science, profession, and interest and improve Ambassador’s employability skills and boost their CV.
As an RMetS Student Ambassador I will:
- commit around 2 hours each month to ambassador-related activities
- raise awareness of the Royal Meteorological Society, promote Society events and recruit new members (both students and academics) through a range of communication methods including social media, mailing lists, leafleting, posters, talks and word of mouth
- endeavour to recruit at least 2* new members from my local networks
- suggest ideas about how to improve the benefits of RMetS membership for students (i.e. educational support, careers support, events, outreach, funding etc)
- add details of any ambassador-related activities I conduct to the reporting spreadsheet throughout the year.
In return, RMetS will:
- provide you with a free Associate Fellow (student) membership for the current year, with all the associated benefits. Your Student Ambassador status will be reviewed at the end of the calendar year.
- provide marketing materials and supporting resources for your activities, as required.
- where necessary, cover expenses you may incur as a result of promotional activities conducted (on such occasions, you will need to obtain approval beforehand and supply us with receipts).
