The Meteorological Society of Cuba (SOMETCUBA), in commemoration of its 25^th Anniversary, is pleased to announce the joint meeting of the IX Cuban Congress of Meteorology, the XVII Latin American and Iberian Congress of societies of meteorology, and the Workshop on atmospheric pollution.

These events will take place at the Hotel Tryp Habana Libre, in the city of La Habana, from December 4th to 8th, 2017. We extend our invitation to all researchers, professionals, civil servants, professors, teaching staff, graduate and undergraduate students of Meteorology and related disciplines, as well as those concerned with contingency plans for extreme weather situations. The grand Congress gathering will provide a forum to discuss and exchange views on current multidisciplinary research in the field of Atmospheric Sciences.

The Organizing Committee hopes that the presentations and round tables, panels, symposia, seminars and conferences that will take place during this multidisciplinary grand Congress will provide guidance and information on the various topics of interest, especially for economic policy makers and environmental planners in our society.
