The 7th ICOS Summer School – which took place in August 2024 in Wageningen, the Netherlands - was a summer school with a twist. This year’s Summer School was a collaboration between the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the ICOS-coordinated Horizon Europe project NUBICOS.
Faced with all too frequent crises induced by climate change like droughts, wildfires and floods, the need for high-quality science that serves society is more acute than ever. Over the past 15 years, ICOS has developed from an implementation phase to today’s operational phase facilitating frontier research on greenhouse gas (GHG) observations. ICOS provides advanced services and scientific evidence for knowledge-based policy decisions in Europe. Beyond Europe, ICOS is a globally recognised environmental Research Infrastructure within the ESFRI framework.
