Relevant Projects and networks
 |
Eurocities Eurocities is a European association of metropolitan cities and represents over 100 members from EU Member states and other countries. Eurocities aims to improve the quality of life for the majority of the citizens of the European Union. The network established a number of committees and sub-networks such as the Environment Committee with about 60 members and ACCESS with currently 108 members. |
|
ACCESS ACCESS is a sub-network of Eurocities promoting a New Mobility Culture. The objectives of ACCESS are to encourage the rational use of the private car and promote more sustainable modes of transport in towns, in order to decrease congestion, improve air quality, as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and noise. ACCESS provides a forum for its 108 members from 28 countries to exchange ideas and best practices, and to ensure transfer of know-how. |
|
POLIS The City network Polis has about 70 members and aims to foster co-operation and partnership across Europe. The primary objective of Polis is to support European cities and regions in improving quality of life through innovative measures for reducing congestion, enhancing safety, lowering polluting emissions, and offering better and equal access to transport services. |
|
CLEAR CLEAR is a cluster project which supports the co-operation between relevant research projects on the field of air quality. The overall aim of CLEAR is to improve our underpinning scientific understanding of urban air pollution and to provide next generation tools for end-users and stakeholders to manage the air quality in cities. |
|
FUMAPEX The main objectives of the FUMAPEX project are the improvement of meteorological forecasts for urban areas, the connection of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models to the urban air pollution (UAP) models and exposure models, the building of improved Urban Air Quality Information and Forecasting Systems (UAQIFS), and their application in cities in various European climates. |
|
URBAN AEROSOL The project focused on research on particulates (PM) by investigating the composition of atmospheric and their sources associated with human exposures in selected residential European urban areas. |
|
OSCAR OSCAR is a European project that addresses the major problem of road traffic congestion and resulting air pollution in urban areas. The overall aim of OSCAR is to develop and deliver an optimised Expert System to assess the environmental impact of road traffic in terms of traffic flows, emissions and air pollution, integrated with the capability of identifying suitable impact reduction options. |
|
INTEGAIRE The INTEGAIRE project is a network of municipal air quality professionals and air quality scientists from research institutes and one university. It aims to explore solutions to key challenges for urban governance and air quality management throughout Europe. |
|
APPETISE The EU funded project APPETISE aims to review and then further develop the prediction and modelling of local air quality from local traffic, weather and air quality data. This will lead to development of easy-to-use software tools that will take time-series of these data and convert them into useful information. |
|
ENV-E-City The project funded within the 'e-Content' programme of the European Commission, developed an internet-based application for environment information related services. The e-content domain extends over four environmental application areas: air emission, air quality, topography and meteorology. |
|
SAPPHIRE SAPPHIRE is a multiple monitoring site research project to develop and validate a readily transferable common pan-European methodological approach to source apportionment of atmospheric pollution intended for use by local city governments throughout Europe. |
|
HEAVEN In the framework of the HEAVEN project a decision support system to allow cities to assess the impacts of traffic on air quality and noise pollution in near-real has been developed. These innovative tools, merging monitoring and simulation systems by means of IST technologies, constitute an integrated, modular system which supports “tactical” and “strategic” decisions. |
|
CITEAIR CITEAIR stands for Common Information to European Air and is a project co-funded by the INTERREG IIIC Programme. The project focuses on the development of common and more efficient approaches to mange the environmental situation in urban agglomerations and to inform policy makers and the public about the environmental situation in their area. |
|
HEPMEAP This project aims to improve the understanding of the adverse effects of ambient and motor engine generated particles. Particles will be characterised and will then be used to interpret the effects the particles have in a range of experimental models. |
|
RAIAP The overall objective of the RAIAP project is to assess the role of ambient suspended particles in causing local inflammation in the respiratory tract and induction and elicitation of respiratory allergies, in order to understand the underlying mechanisms for an involvement of particles in the development of these diseases. |
