The GEWEX/Global Land-Atmosphere System Study (GLASS) panel is a volunteer-based research coordination panel focusing on land model development and evaluation in three core areas: process-oriented exploration, benchmarking (grid-cell to regional to global scales), and global-scale model experimentation and intercomparison. GLASS encourages and coordinates community-based activities in these areas, covering climate and weather timescales in both offline and coupled modelling environments, across the coupled water, energy and carbon cycles. Activities coordinated in this way, with participants from a wide range of international institutions, reduce the potential for duplication in research and act as a catalyst for international collaborations.
This year’s annual GLASS Panel Meeting, which is by invitation only, will review progress of the GLASS working groups and projects and hear updates from non-GLASS projects with related research objectives. As one of the four panels of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Exchanges (GEWEX), a core program of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), the new GEWEX Science Plan and the WCRP Lighthouse activities will be at the heart of these discussions.

COVID-19 entry restrictions
Since June 11, 2022, all COVID-19 entry restrictions to Germany have been provisionally lifted. For entry into Germany, proof of vaccination, proof of convalescence or proof of testing is no longer required. However, persons residing in the People’s Republic of China still need an important reason to enter Germany (due to reciprocity) – this does not apply to German citizens residing in the People’s Republic of China.

Visa
EU nationals do not require a visa to enter the Federal Republic of Germany.
Generally speaking, all other foreigners require a visa for stays in Germany. A visa is not required for visits of up to 90 days in an 180‑day period for nationals of those countries for which the European Community has abolished the visa requirement.
