RI-URBANS will celebrate its 2nd Science Meeting on October 18-19, 2023 in Delft (The Netherlands). The venue is at the Green Village Delft.
This event represents the mid-term project meeting and will be focused on the major topics of the project:

Outputs of the 1st reporting period evaluation
Pan-European reports on advanced air quality parameters
Open access of compiled data and data flow towards ACTRIS of further measurements
Service tools for 3D measurements
Analysis of health outcomes, city mapping, citizen involvement, pollution, and hotspots.
First results on emission inventories and modelling.
Progress of the 5 pilots.
How ACTRIS/RI-URBAN might support the implementation of the new Air Quality Directive
Progress of upscaling actions.
The case study of upscaling for Warsaw.

At the same time, a major goal of the 2nd Science Meeting is to involve air-quality policy stakeholders in the interpretations and discussions of the project results, as well as pilots and applications of the service tools.
