ICOS Science Conference, organised every second year by the ICOS community, is a global event open to scientists and other experts working in greenhouse gases and biogeochemical cycles. ICOS Science Conference 2026 will be organised on 15-17 September 2026 in Lund, Sweden and online. The overarching theme of the conference is “Science, Data, Services: Together for Climate Action”.
We are excited to invite the scientific and research community to propose sessions for the ICOS Science Conference 2026! For the first time this year to promote transparency and cooperation, the submitted session proposals will be visible on our website. The conveners are encouraged to check the submitted session list here before submitting their proposals in case of thematic overlap or gaps.
