Reports
ICOS has been reviewed by an external Evaluation Committee at the end of its five-year implementation period. A set of key performance indicators (KPIs) were also established and evaluated. The report presents the findings and should be read as a document that is complementary to the ‘Evidence Report’ compiled by ICOS ERIC.
The ICOS Handbook 2020 gives a comprehensive overview of ICOS research infrastructure, for example, of its data processing and data life cycle, organisational structure and technical details about station requirements. It also describes the impacts of ICOS and the process for a country to participate in this research infrastructure.
The strategy report analyses the background and framework of ICOS within the context of the UN-driven Global Climate Observation System, and as a core element of the European Copernicus system. It draws conclusions for the further development of the research infrastructure and provides a vision beyond the next decade.
This report communicates the findings of the baseline study for ICOS’ performance on achieving its strategic objectives, which have been operationalised in 17 distinct Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
