The [cloud-aerosol modelling team][www-group] at the [Institute of Geophysics][www-igf], [Faculty of Physics][www-fuw], [University of Warsaw][www-uw], Poland invites to a workshop aimed at bringing together researchers working on modelling cloud microphysics.
The workshop will take place in Warsaw on April 20-22, 2015, in the [CeNT][www_cent] building at the "Ochota Campus" of the University of Warsaw.

The workshop topics cover formulation, implementation and validation of numerical models of aerosol, cloud and precipitation microphysics.
The axis of the workshop is the juxtaposition of the Eulerian (bulk or bin) and the Lagrangian (particle-based) methods for modelling clouds.
The workshop is planned to feature three types of sessions: full-length introductory lectures, short presentations as well as discussion panels on topics announced prior to the workshop.
