EPOS Iceland aims at building electronic infrastructure in Iceland in the form of robust data services, which are set up and operated at the Icelandic Met Office. The services are directly connected to the central data service of EPOS ERIC, which provides access to important multidisciplinary geoscientific data from Iceland and allows processing and joint interpretation with the international geoscientific data held there.

About the project
Partners therefore work on strengthening and building up electronic infrastructure and creating services with the aim of providing open access for everyone to multidisciplinary geoscientific and volcanic data, thus creating new possibilities for interdisciplinary scientific research spanning different fields. At the same time, the aim is to strengthen Iceland's position within the EPOS ERIC association and within EPOS ERIC data services, and to facilitate access to and participation in European and other foreign research grants.
