When you are ordering ECMWF data, browse and select the data you are interested in.
When you get to the Product Requirements Catalogue (also called the shopping cart) stage, complete the process as normal but please ensure that you add a comment to your request to indicate that you would like to be considered for a research licence. Research licences are subject to approval by management and Handling Charges may still apply.
Research project: Any project organised for non-commercial research purposes only. A necessary condition for the recognition of non-commercial purposes is that all the results obtained are openly available at delivery costs only, without any delay linked to commercial objectives, and that the research itself is submitted for open publication.
Ongoing service provision (non-time-limited), even when free-of-charge or by non-profit organisations, do not qualify for a research licence.
Research licences cannot be used for commercial R&D.
