ICOS-coordinated projects

Currently, ICOS ERIC is coordinating two projects: GEORGE and NUBICOS.

ICOS Cities and KADI finished at the end of 2025. You can find the results of these and other projects below.

ICOS is a partner in:

AMRIT(2024-2028)

AMRIT is a Horizon Europe-funded project aimed at strengthening marine research infrastructures across Europe. It integrates key services to support the European Ocean Observing System (EOOS) and fosters collaboration among marine researchers, platform operators, and policymakers.

AVENGERS(2023-2026)

AVENGERS develops methodologies for the use of high-quality atmospheric data in national GHG inventory reports, in close cooperation between atmospheric scientists and inventory compilers

ENVRI-Hub NEXT (2024-2027)

ENVRI-Hub NEXT develops a user-friendly platform for seamless access to data from environmental Research Infrastructures, fostering interdisciplinary research and driving breakthroughs in environmental science.

ERIC Forum 2 (2023-2027)

This project aims to structure the cooperation between ERICs, support the implementation of the ERIC Regulation and ERICs services, and consolidate the integration of the ERICs in the European Research Area by deepening the ERIC Forum’s contribution to research policies.

EYE-CLIMA (2023-2026)

EYE-CLIMA aims to improve estimates of emissions and removals of the most important greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O and six F-gases), as well as black carbon, to support European and international policy to reduce emissions.

IRISCC (2024-2028)

Climate change presents a complex existential threat, demanding a unified and comprehensive response. IRISCC recognises this urgency and acts as a collaborative force, bringing together the expertise and resources of numerous Research Infrastructures.

TRICUSO (2025-2028)

TRICUSO is a Horizon Europe science research project seeking to innovate every level of the Southern Ocean Carbon Value Chain.

Past projects

ATMO-ACCESS (2021-2025)

ATMO-ACCESS provided physical, virtual and remote access services to more than 50 atmospheric facilities’ data and instruments worldwide through periodic calls.

CoCO2 (2021-2023)

CoCO2 sustained the development of a European capacity for monitoring human-caused (anthropogenic) carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

DICE (2021-2023)

DICE enabled a European storage and data management infrastructure for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), providing generic services and building blocks to store, find, access, and process data in a consistent and persistent way.

ENVRI-FAIR (2019-2022)

ENVRI-FAIR built a set of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data services for all participating ENVRI Research Infrastructures.

EOSC Future (2021-2024)

EOSC Future was an initiative initiative designed to implement, integrate, and consolidate the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

ERIC Forum 1 (2019-2022)

ERIC Forum Implementation Project strengthened the coordination and enhanced collaborations between the participating ERICs.

EuroGO-SHIP (2022-2025)

EuroGO-SHIP sought to enable the European community conducting hydrographic observations at sea to provide higher quality and more sustainable data flows to a broad range of end users.

e-shape (2019-2023)

e-shape was an initiative that brought together decades of public investment in Earth Observation and in cloud capabilities into services for decision-makers, citizens, industry and researchers.

RINGO (2017-2020)

RINGO contributed significantly to the overall readiness and the long-term sustainability of ICOS research infrastructure.

traceRadon (2020-2023)

traceRadon aimed to provide the necessary measurement infrastructure and use the data that it generates to apply the Radon Tracer Method (RTM).

VERIFY (2018-2022)

VERIFY was an EU Horizon 2020 project that aimed to provide a pre-operational, observation-based system for the monitoring and verification of greenhouse gases.
