ITMS Showcases Interdisciplinary Research at EGU 2025
The ITMS project was prominently featured at the 2025 EGU General Assembly, held from April 28 to May 2 in Vienna, Austria.
A total of 16 contributions were presented across various sessions, comprising 5 oral presentations and 11 posters from Modules B, M, and Q&S. These contributions highlight the strong interdisciplinary research efforts within ITMS and it’s growing visibility in the scientific community.
The active and engaged scientists in ITMS are playing a crucial role in advancing the project, fulfilling the core goals of the first Phase of the ITMS—developing a demonstrator system for the integrated greenhouse gas monitoring system for Germany.
The work presented at EGU 2025 underscored the project’s commitment and showcases the transition of the project from vision into reality.
Details on the featured sessions and presentations are available on the EGU 2025 webpage.
