THE FIELD STATION CONCEPT by The Field Station Lab | IK is a unique and tested autonomous micro field station system developed to observe biospheres without disturbing Nature. It is adapted to be flexible, field dignified and robust. A platform for scientific observations as well as documentation of a landscape, developed by a group of international specialists led by The IK Foundation as an enterprise project ‘To understand Planet Earth’.

To discover more about the possibilities of this field station system please view the film presentation!

To stimulate the knowledge of our shared planet through monitoring our natural world, we invite external projects and organisations to use the micro field system in their own projects without disturbing Nature. By completing the form below, a statement of interest may be made without any binding commitments. Each field station is built according to the unique specification of the use and the type of environment it is to operate within.
