Developing our service portfolio
eLTER RI will provide access to ~250 well equipped sites and platforms. Data gathered at these sites will be integrated with a wide range of other data from various sources, including remote sensing and official statistics. Research based on this wealth of information will provide insights into the functioning of our life supporting system.
We are developing our service to build on and complement these core activities to serve our stakeholder groups. These range from scientific research to decision-making and business & industry.
Some of the services are already in operation, others are currently specified and piloted within 7 Thematic Service Areas (TSA) including the Head office. All services will be available via the Service Portal.
As the detailed implementation plans for the service portfolio takes shape, we will identify a number of Topic Centres to add value to the operation and evolutions of the eLTER RI’s capabilities.
