Mission statement
ICOS-NL is a highly advanced infrastructure as part of the ICOS-EU distributed infrastructure that will allow with unprecedented accuracy to determine the development of CO2 sources and sink strengths and atmospheric CO2 concentrations and will thus advance our knowledge of the carbon cycle. The Netherlands contribution to ICOS-EU is based on the notion of enabling technology, bringing to the EU infrastructure those elements in which the Netherlands excels, thereby creating synergy between the European overall and the Netherlands specific structure.
