ICOS ERIC shall establish secure, fair and transparent procedures to provide access to the ICOS data for all data users.

If research access to the ICOS RI facilities and services has to be restricted for capacity reasons the selection criteria shall be based on scientific excellence of the proposals according to the procedure set out in the internal rules.

The data providers and the ICOS ERIC shall encourage researchers to make their research results publicly available and request researchers of member countries to make results available through the ICOS ERIC.

In order to reach various target audiences the ICOS ERIC shall use several channels, such as web portal, newsletters, workshops, presence in conferences, articles in magazines and daily newspapers.
