The FLUXNET network is a bottom-up initiative built on collaboration among Regional Networks and individual stations and scientists, with the goal of providing access to unique, direct measurements of carbon, water, and energy exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere.We are entering a new era of FLUXNET, marked by strengthened collaboration among Regional Networks - including AmeriFlux, ICOS/European Flux Database, OzFlux/TERN, JapanFlux, KoFlux, ChinaFlux, MexFlux, SAEON, and others. This collaboration is making access to FLUXNET data more standardized, up-to-date, and user-friendly. The enhanced central role of the Regional Networks will ensure the stability and continued development of the new FLUXNET framework. During the Town Hall, we will launch the new FLUXNET Data Access System. We will introduce the largest-ever collection of 24/7 flux measurements from around the world -- all publicly accessible -- and give a practical demonstration of the data access system and available products. Emphasis will be on engaging potential users, fostering collaboration, and identifying opportunities for participation, contribution, and improvement. The session will conclude with the FLUXNET-CoOp project presenting the Paper of the Year and the FLUXNET Service Awards.
