The European Commission has established ACTRIS as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium to provide state-of-the-art data and services in atmospheric research, supporting evidence-based policymaking.
Spain participates in ACTRIS, a scientific facility recently established by the European Commission as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) to provide state-of-the-art data and services in atmospheric research.
ACTRIS (Aerosol, Clouds and Trace gases Research Infrastructure) allows scientists worldwide to study short-lived atmospheric components (aerosols, clouds, and reactive trace gases, which vary greatly in space and time) and their interactions, enabling reliable atmospheric predictions ranging from short-term weather and health alerts to long-term climate change assessments.
Spanish organizations participating in ACTRIS ERIC
Spain, through the Ministry of Science and Innovation, which pays Spain’s membership fees to ACTRIS ERIC, participates in ACTRIS with eleven research organizations, grouped in a Joint Research Unit, consisting of the Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT), the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET), the Universidad de Granada, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center-Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), the Fundación de la Comunitat Valenciana Centro de Estudios Ambientales del Mediterráneo (CEAM), the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA), the Universidad de Valladolid, the Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche, the Universitat de València, and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Other organizations collaborate and may join in the future.
