ROCS is a virtual centre that is more than a collection of research projects. It is a platform to foster a larger network of researchers approaching similar questions from diverse vantage points.

Research at ROCS is grounded in transdisciplinarity with input from a diverse group of people and institutions. The centre‘s roots lie at the University of Iceland and the University of Copenhagen that host the staff employed directly by ROCS. 

ROCS' collaborating institutions include the University of Copenhagen, University of Iceland, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), Marine and Freshwater Research Institute in Iceland (MFRI), Aarhus University, National Institute of Aquatic Resources at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Aqua), and the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA).

 

The steering committee includes representatives from the University of Iceland and the University of Copenhagen.
