ITINERIS
Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System
The aim of ITINERIS is to create the Italian research infrastructure for the observation and study of environmental processes in the atmosphere, the sea, the terrestrial biosphere and the geosphere, to provide access to data and services and to support the country in tackling current and future environmental problems. The main objective of ITINERIS is to develop interdisciplinary research in the field of environmental sciences and to coordinate a network of national nodes of 22 research infrastructures. This will be done by utilising and re-using existing (or pre-operational) data and services and new observations to address scientifically and socially relevant issues such as the sustainable use of natural resources, the implementation of nature-based solutions, a green and blue economy, pollution reduction, the management and restoration of critical areas and ecosystems, the carbon cycle and the mitigation of the effects of climate and environmental change.
ITINERIS will have a significant impact on national environmental research and provide environmental science support for the development of sustainable strategies. ITINERIS takes an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to the Earth system and its changes so that users can benefit from the integrated IR system and the knowledge it generates. This far-reaching vision of environmental research, supported by leading Italian environmental scientists involved in European IR, is truly innovative and will help our country to take a leading role in European environmental research and shape the framework for the coming decades.
