Programme
Details about the conference programme will be available soon.
Conference Themes:
- Development, application and evaluation of air quality related models for local to global scales: Advances in modeling techniques for better understanding and forecasting of air quality.
- Air quality monitoring and earth observations: Advances in measurement techniques and in combining satellite observations with measurements from ground-based instruments and models.
- Air Pollution Sources and Emissions: Identifying, quantifying, and mitigating sources of air pollution of emerging concern, including industrial, transport, and natural sources.
- Health and Environmental Impacts: Assessing the impact of air pollution on human health, ecosystems, and the environment, as well as strategies for mitigation.
- Air Quality Policies and Regulations: Discussing international and local policies, regulations, and best practices for air quality management and improvement. New challenges for the policy-regulatory framework: fine and ultrafine particles; allergenic pollen.
- Climate Change and Air Quality Interactions: Exploring the relationship between air quality and climate change, as well as strategies for tackling both challenges simultaneously. The impacts of wildfires on Climate and Air Quality.
- Urban air quality: air quality challenges (modelling, monitoring, assessment) in urban environments. The aspect of spatial and temporal scale; green spaces and their AQ implications; current and future mobility methods and technologies and their impact on the urban environment.
- Air quality information services: mobile apps, context aware web-based services, gamification-oriented methods and tools, good practices in service design, project & city-oriented examples.
Special sessions (preliminary list):
- Pan-Eurasian EXperiment (PEEX) contribution on air quality in Mega and Gigacities
- Transport emissions and policies
- Machine learning /AI supported air quality monitoring and modelling
- Emissions from European agriculture, e.g. livestock farming, fertilization, etc.
- Science and policy for clean air and carbon neutral cities, revision of the Ambient Air Quality Directive
- From Smart Cities to Citizen Scientists: Unveiling the Power of Crowdsourcing Sensor Networks in Air Quality Monitoring
