ReGAME combines interdisciplinary competencies, bringing together the activities of the leading European institutes in environmental methane research:

NILU – Climate and Environmental Research Insitute NILU

NILU is an independent, nonprofit research institution established in 1969, staffed by scientists, engineers, and technicians with specialized expertise for working on air pollution problems. NILU is one of the leading specialized scientific laboratories in Europe researching issues related to air pollution, climate change, and health. The atmosphere and climate department (ATMOS) of NILU contributes to better knowledge about pollutants in the atmosphere and what we can do to mitigate the problems they cause. In addition, ATMOS studies the climate system itself, including the dispersal of volcanic ash and radionuclides.

CICERO – Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research

Designation

CICERO Center for International Climate Research in Oslo, Norway, is a world-leading institute for interdisciplinary climate research established in 1990. CICERO delivers high-quality research and knowledge that help society respond to climate challenges and strengthen international climate cooperation. CICERO is internationally recognised for its research on the climate effects of anthropogenic emissions, society’s response to climate change, and the formulation of international agreements. CICERO has played an active role in the IPCC since 1992.

Department of Meteorology and Geophysics, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria

Designation

The University of Vienna, founded in 1365, is the oldest university in the German-speaking world and one of the largest in Central Europe. It is the largest Austrian research institution hosting 6,800 academics within 15 faculties and five centers, dedicated to both basic and applied research. UNIVIE has recently made large investments in its Department of Meteorology and Geophysics, where this project will be carried out. All its four full professors are newly appointed (starting in 2019-2021), rooms have been renovated, and new computing infrastructure has been set up, thus providing an excellent environment for carrying out innovative research projects.
