About SAEON
SAEON is an institution with a country wide presence that encompasses the major terrestrial, coastal and oceanic environments with seven nodes distributed across the country. Its activities cover the entire research-development-innovation value chain ranging from collecting, processing, archiving and interpreting data; through to developing data products and services; and up to transferring data products and related technologies to end users that include policy makers and environmental managers.
