Partners and Team

Over the past decade, UAEREP ignited global interest in rain enhancement by uniting premier research institutions worldwide, positioning rain enhancement as a pivotal weather modification technology.
For public and private sector decision makers worldwide, the Program provides valuable insights into the sustainability and effectiveness of rain enhancement techniques.

Through its activities, the Program has forged strong ties with more than 1,800 researchers from over 800 institutions in 70 countries across 4 continents. Regarding new research, UAEREP has supported the publication of 82 published scientific articles, the granting of 5 patents, and contributions to more than 100 conference proceedings.

UAEREP’s robust network of experts and institutions include world-class entities such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the University of California San Diego, the University of Boulder Colorado, the University of Reading (UK), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), North-West University (South Africa), and the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) and Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi. 

UAEREP invites all interested government entities, private institutions and leading tech companies to join its mission in developing innovative rain enhancement technologies.

“UAEREP is an especially important program as we continue to focus on rain enhancement possibilities, operations development, and infrastructure to ensure the sustainability of our water resources. By working together, we have successfully developed a short-term roadmap for the next few years, identifying priorities for future research calls. This collaborative effort puts us on a strong path to develop significant new research avenues that will ultimately enhance water security in the region.” - Professor Jurg Luterbacher, Former Director of Science & Innovation and Chief Scientist, World Meteorological Organization.
