ICOS would not be ICOS without the work and collaboration that takes place across member institutions and countries. Making sure that our community can be sustained for the long term is therefore an important task for the research infrastructure (RI).
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.
In 2025 ICOS will organise the already 8th edition of the ICOS Summer School. It will be held at the completely renewed facilities of the Hyytiälä forest field station in Finland from Monday 5 May until Thursday 15 May 2025.
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.
