At the moment there are 9 endorsed CORDEX Flagship Pilot Studies.
The two latest additions for Africa and the TPE region were officially presented as endorsed at the ICRC-CORDEX 2019 in Beijing in October.

Dear Colleagues,
This is a final reminder that the abstract submission deadline for the upcoming EGU General Assembly is very close, on 10 January
2018 at 13:00 Central Europe Time (12:00 UTC).
We encourage you to submit your research for presentation in the session “Regional climate modeling, including CORDEX” (session CL5.06 ), so that this session can continue to be a strong contribution to the EGU climate program. The session description (with a link to the abstract submission page) is at
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/26436
We look forward to meeting you in Vienna.

WCRP Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX)
Terms of reference
Following the pioneering and successful work of the Task Force on Regional Climate Downscaling (TFRCD) which mandate ended in 2011, the WCRP established a CORDEX Science Advisory Team in 2012. The CORDEX vision is to advance and coordinate the science and application of regional climate downscaling through global partnerships. In order to achieve the CORDEX vision the Science Advisory Team (SAT) has the mandate to implement and oversee, in communication with the broader scientific community, the following tasks:
The CORDEX-SAT is expected to report regularly at the JSC and the Working Group on Regional Climate (WGRC) meetings on the progress of its activities. Members are appointed for a 3-year term, with the possibility of 2-year extensions.
Individual SAT-members play a significant role in contributing to the SAT tasks with responsibilities including what is listed below:
