1. IS-ENES [ees-enes] InfraStructure for the European Network for Earth System Modelling IS-ENES will develop a virtual Earth System Modelling Resource Centre (vERC) Martin Juckes, BADC

2. Funded by EU Framework Programme 7 to develop infrastructure for Earth System Modelling, 7.6M€, 4 years. 20 partners, led by IPSL. Objectives include:  education,  enhancing model efficiency,  model evaluation tools,  data management and  services for data users. IS-ENES:key facts

3. IS-ENES: data management Core funding objective: enhance European capability to deal with large and diverse datasets from Earth System Modelling projects, using distributed data archives. Software to support EU contribution to CMIP5/AR5 archive
