ACTRIS is the fundamental European Research Infrastructure for short-lived atmospheric constituents, increasing the excellence in Earth system observation and research and providing information and knowledge for developing sustainable solutions to societal needs. ACTRIS shall establish, operate, and develop a pan-European distributed research infrastructure for short-lived atmospheric constituents. ACTRIS shall provide effective access for a wide user community to its resources and services in order to facilitate high-quality Earth system research.
ACTRIS results from more than 15 years of consistent development funded by both Member States and the European Commission through the Research Infrastructure programme.
