The year 2025 marks the 10 year anniversary of ICOS being granted the status of an ERIC, European Research Infrastructure Consortium. This status was awarded to ICOS by the European Commission in November 2015, following years of dedicated work during the preparatory phase.
To celebrate this milestone, we will be highlighting research, science success stories and special moments from the community that have shaped ICOS’s journey so far. We will also welcome the community to share their own memories of ICOS – stay tuned!
The anniversary year will conclude in November with a special week of events, held at the University of Helsinki main building in Helsinki, Finland.
This three-day anniversary event will bring together the ICOS General Assembly (GA) and the Measurement Station Assemblies (MSAs)—Atmosphere, Ocean, and Ecosystem—held at the same time and location for the first time.
The meetings will conclude with an Anniversary Seminar on 27 November, offering a moment to reflect on the past decade and acknowledge the work of the entire ICOS community.
Dates
- Tuesday 25 November: Info Day (invitation only)
- Wednesday 26 November: Measurement Station Assemblies (MSAs)—Atmosphere, Ocean, and Ecosystem & General Assembly (GA) & evening reception (invitation only)
- Thursday 27 November: Anniversary Seminar (open to all, registration will be required. Registration form will open at a later date.)
We hope you join us in celebrating 10 years of ICOS ERIC.
