What AnaEE-ERIC does

AnaEE-ERIC (Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems) is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium established in 2021 and headquartered in Gif-sur-Yvette, France, with an Interface and Synthesis Centre in Brno, Czech Republic. It operates as a publicly funded, non-commercial research infrastructure that provides pan-European access to more than 60 experimental, analytical, and modelling facilities distributed across 23 universities and research institutions in 18 member countries. The consortium's facilities span all European climatic zones from subarctic to Mediterranean and cover major land use types, enabling research on drought, pollution, land-use change, biological invasions, and other environmental drivers.

The organisation's core technology platform centres on the ISIA Service Catalogue (isia.cnrs.fr), which provides searchable access to experimental, analytical, and modelling resources, complemented by a Developer API (developer.anaee.eu) and a Data Portal for registered users. Experimental facilities include open-air and enclosed systems (including aquatic); analytical facilities deliver biological, physical, chemical, and socio-economic analyses; and modelling facilities provide numerical models and software development tools for ecosystem response prediction. The AnaEE-ERIC Publications Library was launched on Zotero in July 2026 as an additional knowledge-distribution layer.

AnaEE-ERIC is funded primarily through EU Horizon Europe research programmes, national research agency contributions from member states, and in-kind and financial contributions from partner institutions. Services are largely provided free or subsidised to researchers and the private sector through Transnational Access (TNA) programmes distributed across partner projects including AgroServ, AQUASERV, IRISCC, PHENET, and Microbes4Climate. The organisation serves academic researchers, students and early-career researchers, research institutions, private sector companies in food production, farming, and climate resilience, and policymakers/government bodies. Customer acquisition is primarily event-driven through conferences, workshops, TechUp! webinars, and EU project TNA funding calls. Revenue is not commercially generated; the consortium is governed by a Board chaired by Director General Michel Boër, with operational leadership including Scientific Officer Biljana Đorđević and Communications Officer Amanda Ölander.

Core offering

AnaEE-ERIC is a pan-European research infrastructure consortium that provides unified access to more than 60 experimental, analytical, and modelling facilities dedicated to global change ecology. It connects 23 leading universities and research institutions across 18 European countries, offering researchers, students, and the private sector free or subsidised access through EU-funded Transnational Access (TNA) programmes. Core offerings include experimental ecosystems (open-air and enclosed systems spanning European climates), advanced analytical services, and modelling platforms, all discoverable via the ISIA catalogue and interoperable through standardised data APIs.

Product overview

AnaEE-ERIC operates as a pan-European research infrastructure platform that provides unified access to three interconnected service types: Experimental Facilities (open-air and enclosed systems spanning Europe's climatic zones), Analytical Facilities (biological, physical, chemical, and socio-economic analyses), and Modelling Facilities (numerical models and software development tools). These services are catalogued through the ISIA platform, accessible at isia.cnrs.fr. The infrastructure connects 23 top European universities and research institutions, offering Transnational Access (TNA) funding programmes for free or reduced-cost facility usage. Additional services include a Data Portal for dataset access, TechUp! bimonthly webinars, and a Publications Library available through Zotero.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• ELIXIR: Intergovernmental bioinformatics infrastructure for life sciences, established as an ERIC. Comparable in infrastructure-as-a-service model and multi-country governance, but broader in scope (life sciences) rather than ecosystem-experimental specialisation.
• Euro-BioImaging: European research infrastructure for biological and biomedical imaging, operating as an ERIC. Similar distributed infrastructure model and ERIC legal form, but focused on imaging rather than ecological experimentation.

Direct peers

• ICOS ERIC: Integrated Carbon Observation System, a European ERIC providing research infrastructure for greenhouse gas observation across ecosystems. Comparable to AnaEE-ERIC in mandate, ERIC legal status, and pan-European member country structure, and is referenced in AnaEE-ERIC's event calendar.
• LifeWatch ERIC: European scientific research infrastructure for biodiversity and ecosystem research, providing e-infrastructure and data services. Directly comparable to AnaEE-ERIC in ERIC legal form, data platform orientation, and ecosystem research focus.
• eLTER RI: Long-Term Ecosystem Research network across Europe, a closely aligned ERIC that focuses on long-term observation and experimental platforms for ecosystem science. Highly comparable to AnaEE-ERIC in mission, governance model, and EU funding dependency, and is cited as a partner.
• ACTRIS: Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure, an ERIC providing atmospheric observation platforms and experimental facilities. Comparable governance model (ERIC, multi-country) and research infrastructure mandate, with adjacent environmental science focus.

Regional players

• NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network): US-based continental-scale ecological observation platform providing open-access data and field sites. Comparable to AnaEE-ERIC in providing large-scale ecosystem research infrastructure and standardised data, but serving a different geographic mandate.
• LTER Network: US Long-Term Ecological Research Network of 28+ sites conducting long-term ecosystem studies. Comparable to AnaEE-ERIC in long-term ecosystem experimentation focus and multi-site coordination, but operating in the United States.
• TERN (Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network): Australia's national ecosystem observatory providing integrated data and observation infrastructure. Comparable in ecosystem research infrastructure mandate and standardised data delivery, but focused on Australian ecosystems.

Others

• EGI (European Grid Infrastructure): Federated computing and data infrastructure for European research. Tangentially related as a peer ERIC in the research infrastructure ecosystem, providing compute and data services that ecosystem research projects like AnaEE-ERIC's may use.
