Acknowledgments. The authors of this paper (the organizers, keynote speakers, and panelists of the Science Summit) would like to express their sincere appreciation to the contribution from all participants (see supplement for a full list of participants). Their active engagement during plenary discussions and the World Cafe sessions was essential for the final outcome and for the recommendations to World Meteorological Congress. We further thank the WMO staff for supporting all aspects of the meeting, as well as the Republic of Indonesia for their effort in planning the meeting, which had to be moved to Geneva on a short-hand notice, due to a volcanic eruption. Our sincere thanks also go to three anonymous reviewers who provided very encouraging and valuable feedback on previous versions of the manuscript, which helped to significantly enhance the clarity and message of this paper. VD acknowledges the support of CAS International Cooperation program (Grant 134111KYSB20160010) and the CAS-TWAS President Fellowship for his PhD study. VL acknowledges the support received by the Horizon 2020 Projects CRESCENDO (Grant 641816) and Blue Action (Grant 727852).

N2 - Whether on an urban or planetary scale, covering time scales of a few minutes or a few decades, the societal need for more accurate weather, climate, water, and environmental information has led to a more seamless thinking across disciplines and communities. This challenge, at the intersection of scientific research and society’s need, is among the most important scientific and technological challenges of our time. The “Science Summit on Seamless Research for Weather, Climate, Water, and Environment” organized by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 2017, has brought together researchers from a variety of institutions for a cross-disciplinary exchange of knowledge and ideas relating to seamless Earth system science. The outcomes of the Science Summit, and the interactions it sparked, highlight the benefit of a seamless Earth system science approach. Such an approach has the potential to break down artificial barriers that may exist due to different observing systems, models, time and space scales, and compartments of the Earth system. In this context, the main future challenges for research infrastructures have been identified. A value cycle approach has been proposed to guide innovation in seamless Earth system prediction. The engagement of researchers, users, and stakeholders will be crucial for the successful development of a seamless Earth system science that meets the needs of society.
