Understanding climate variability at various time scales in the past, present, and future is an extremely complex scientific action that requires the integration of a number of disciplines.

Fully aware of this, ICCS aims at providing an open environment of confrontation and integration for scientists with different backgrounds, to stimulate collaborations and shared project designs.

Associates of Research are at the core of this effort. They have no obligations and freely contribute to the activities of the Institute. For their attitude and for their sense of the community, we are extremely grateful to them all.
