5. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze Objectives of CarboEurope-IP: A reminder: „ The overarching aim of CarboEurope-IP is to understand, quantify and predict the terrestrial carbon balance of Europe and associated uncertainties at local, regional and continental scale.“

6. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze Main Objectives

7. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze The European Carbon Balance 1.by top-down inverse modelling 2.by bottom-up modelling based on eddy covariance measurements and on changes in Carbon pools 3.To develop a innovative data assimilation framework

8. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze Processes and Model Predictions 4. to determine the partitioning of fluxes 5. to quantify effects of management 6. to develop, evaluate and optimize ecosystem process models

9. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze Detection of Kyoto 7. to provide an observation system of atmospheric measurements 8. To develop the outline of a full Carbon accounting system for the second commitment period

10. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze In this conference we will learn about the progress made since Crete, and make sure that we reach the main goals of CarboEurope by end 2008

11. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze Details about the final year and the future will be discussed during the general assembley, specifically -the final report -a Carbon-cycle assessment needed by Brussels -possibly a carbon cycle event by end 2008 -the role of Carbon-cycle reserach in FP7 (interactions between ICOS-infrastructure and FP7- research projects), participation of Eastern Europe

12. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze In contrast to last year‘s conference when we invited other C-projects, this assembley will only discuss the progress and the final stages of CE-IP The parallel sessions should be used to discuss the promised objectives to be met by end 2008 Thursday will be used to discuss the future

13. CarboEurope-IP, Poznan 2007 E.-D. Schulze Have a fruitful meeting
