FRC (Field Research Centre) Hasselt University

The Field Research Centre (FRC) is located in the periphery of Terhills, the main gate to the National Park Hoge Kempen, Flanders, Belgium.

Currently the National Park is the only recognized TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity) region within Belgium.

At the FRC, Hasselt University and RLKM perform, promote and support biodiversity-related research within the Limburg region, together with volunteers, park rangers and students.

The FRC hosts the Ecotron, the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS), and is partner in Lifewatch and Long-Term Ecosystem Research Network (LTER).
