The anniversary year will conclude with week of anniversary events taking place between 25th and 27th November. 

The event will begin on Tuesday 25th November with an Info Day. This internal meeting is usually organised ahead of the General Assembly (GA) to provide an opportunity to discuss important scientific and strategic matters for the year. This year, the Info Day will be open to key groups in the ICOS community, including participants of the Monitoring Station Assemblies (MSA), as well as Focal Points and Principal Investigators. More details will be shared with these groups via email. 

On Wednesday 26th November, there will be General Assembly (GA) and the Measurement Station Assemblies (MSAs) meetings—Atmosphere, Ocean, and Ecosystem— held at the same time and location for the first time. 'Super MSA' session will be organised with all three domains of ICOS meeting together. More information on this to follow. 

The meetings will conclude with an anniversary seminar on Thursday 27th November, providing an opportunity to reflect on the past decade and to acknowledge the contributions of the entire ICOS community.
