In order to examine this issue as well as the results of relevant EU projects, the Commission convened a scientific workshop in February 1998 in Brussels. Encouraged by the workshop report, the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme (IGBP) then organised an international workshop in April in Stockholm co-sponsored by NASA and the EU. The result was a scientific consensus based on the outcome of both workshops, which is documented in a paper published on 29 May 1998 in Science, where an appeal is made for further developments to the world-wide integrated monitoring system, including flux measurements such as those made by Euroflux.
Les résultats des deux ateliers ont permis d'aboutir à un consensus présenté dans un article publié le 29 mai 1998 dans le magazine "Science", qui appelle à des développements dans le système intégré de surveillance au niveau mondial, notamment au niveau de l'étude des flux, du type de celles réalisées par Euroflux.
