AnaEE Added Value

The AnaEE added values stay at the level of project fostering, planning, incubation and through scientific and technical project review to ensure the highest quality of project execution, data, and results. Enhanced quality of AnaEE platforms (via AnaEE technical criteria) and their services (via standardization of methodologies and automation of e.g. data streams), hence leading to enhanced probability of success for projects involving AnaEE platforms and original scientific results.
Possibility to use a combination of platforms, e.g. over several climate zones, or enclosed/open-air, and to use the services from the analytical and modelling platforms.
Enhanced quality of user projects via the AnaEE project review procedure.
Facilitation of new research ideas; the AnaEE workshops, meetings and web portal (maintained by the Hub) will be used actively to engage the community and facilitate the fostering of new ideas for projects and research as well as develop and share information, e.g. concept notes.

Note: All papers published using AnaEE-ERIC facilities must include the following sentence: The authors gratefully acknowledge [research institution] which is part of AnaEE-ERIC research infrastructure for providing the facilities and resources necessary to conduct this research.
