Jean-François Geleyn, fondateur et premier directeur de programme d'Aladin

Jean-François Geleyn has been leading the international Aladin consortium from 1990 until 2010, first informally and then later, as the Program Manager. This consortium was a collaboration of 16 European and North-African national meteorological institutes that developed and maintained the Aladin numerical-weather prediction system. While many people contributed to this collaboration, its outstanding success was the result of Jean-François Geleyn's tireless efforts, his exceptional intellect and his unique human dedication to the program. His efforts formed the basis for the collaboration with the Hirlam consortium that ultimately led to a new consortium of 26 countries for numerical weather prediction.
