Project description
A big breath for air pollution monitoring technology
Air quality still poses a challenge to health, ecosystems and climate in Europe, despite decades of positive developments. Since the adoption of the first EU legislation on ambient air, process knowledge has increased, remote and in situ observing technologies have undergone major developments, and new powerful ICT infrastructures have emerged. Low-cost sensing technologies have enabled a paradigm shift in air quality monitoring, triggering new research needs and opportunities to underpin the new capabilities. The EU-funded VIDIS project will develop a strategic partnership between the VINCA Institute (Serbia) and leading international counterparts known for research on low-cost sensing - ENEA (Italy), NILU (Norway), QUT(Australia) - with the aim of generating knowledge and approaches for meaningful uptake of new technologies.
Objective
Air quality still poses a challenge to health, ecosystems and climate in Europe, despite decades of positive developments. Since the adoption of the first EU legislation on ambient air, the process knowledge has increased, the remote and in-situ observing technologies have undergone major developments, and new potent ICT infrastructures have emerged. Low cost sensing technologies have enabled a paradigm shift in air quality monitoring, triggering new research needs and opportunities in order to underpin the new capabilities.
VIDIS will develop strategic partnership of VINCA Institute (SR) with leading international counterparts known for research on low-cost sensing (ENEA (IT), NILU (NO), Queensland University (AU)). VIDIS will establish scientific collaboration and networking and generate new knowledge that will allow the society to meaningfully utilize the new technologies, e.g. the emerging democratized data collection.
VINCA is recognized in atmospheric research and in-situ monitoring including low-cost technologies. In order to fully capitalize on and improve this expertise, there is a need to establish a strategic partnership with institutions excellent in areas VINCA has been pursuing. VIDIS will improve observing capabilities and develop quality systems needed to ensure meaningful data integration. It will develop artificial intelligence and machine learning methods allowing to integrate the new types of data into existing information systems. Building on methods and data collected from ongoing projects of all partners, VIDIS will establish collaborative research, education, training and dissemination activities, early stage researcher training and mobility, and support early stage researcher career development also in research administration and stakeholder contact. This will increase the innovation capacities of VINCA and partners, improve VINCA’s collaborative potential, and contribute to excellence of European research and innovation.
