ATMO ACCESS

The ambition of ATMO-ACCESS is to address the needs for developing sustainable solutions based on the
principles of open access and to develop guidelines and recommendations for governance, management and
funding for efficient and effective access provision suited to distributed atmospheric RIs. This project investigates
the most suitable mechanisms that could lead to the sustainable provision of access to atmospheric research
infrastructures. The main objectives of ATMO-ACCESS are:
• to provide coordinated open physical, remote and virtual access to state-of-the-art facilities and
services in atmospheric RIs and further enhance their range of products, capabilities and
accessibility for a wide range of users, including the private sector;
• to engage facilities and their national stakeholders and direct them towards improved
harmonisation of access procedures across the different member states, while also exploring
modalities by which the use of atmospheric RIs can be further enhanced;
• to explore and test new modalities of access that build on the complementarity and synergies
among atmospheric RIs and respond to the evolving needs of users in relation to training, research
and technology development, innovation and data services;
• to identify the most suitable conditions for establishing sustainable access procedures across the
EU for distributed atmospheric RIs, involving national and international stakeholders.

In this project we will explore new ways to provide access to atmospheric research facilities in Europe, through access to physical and virtual services.
