Final Report Summary - BEOBAL (BEO Centre of Excellence Research Capacity Improvement for Sustainable Environment and Advanced Integration into ERA)
The main purpose of this project is for BEO Moussala to be developed as an observatory attracting the scientists from abroad and to be included as 'research infrastructure for transnational access' (at the first time, mainly for neighbouring countries). It will also act as the regional station of global atmosphere watch (GAW) programme of the World Meteorological Organization. In addition there will be implementation and development of advanced methodology, technology, methods and advanced metrology and the enhancement of observing and complex monitoring of global change and ecosystems.
Furthermore, the project provides diversification, broadening and enhancement of international collaboration and cooperation and advanced human resources long-term management. It also promotes youth in science and supports active science communication by advanced science - society interaction policy. The initiative also supports the application and development of advanced management system and the reinforcement of science and technology (S&T) equipment and systems of BEO CoE directed to enhancement of the research infrastructure of European importance. Therefore, the basic fields of current and future work and studies at BEO Moussala and in BEO Centre of Excellence include: global change, aero/space weather, sustainable development, measuring devices and systems development and enhancement.
The main objective of the first work package involved networking. This was achieved by diversification, broadening and enhancement of international collaboration and cooperation towards to reach real European integration. Special attention has been paid to joint activities with Balkan institutions, deepening of international collaboration, networking and integration in the space of ERA with European centres of excellence.
In frame of the project BEOBAL programme 12 study visits were realised in partner institutes from Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, FYROM, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. In addition the project was involved with the strengthening and improvement of the aerosol measurements at BEO Moussala and participation in joint research activities together with the leading European institutions and coordination of activities connected with aerosol measurements in Europe.
The main objectives of the second work package were the reinforcement of S&T equipment and systems of BEO CoE directed to enhancement of the research infrastructure of European importance, connected with: global change observing, ecosystems monitoring and technological and natural risks (study, early detection and control) widely using new information technologies and platforms.
The main objectives of the third work package within the frame of BEOBAL project plan are implementation and development of advanced methodology, technology, methods, metrology, observing and complex monitoring in the field of global change and ecosystems, including gas emissions and atmosphere pollutants (ozone depletion and carbon skin etc.), global change observing systems (environmental radioactivity, monitoring and assessment of the natural and anthropogenic hazards and risks. The work is based on national research competence on the field and close collaboration and networking with recognised scientific centers in Europe.
This activity will pursue the long tradition of BEO Moussala to support the European science and intends to have the new and noteworthy impact of improving our knowledge on national and international level. It brings to bear the realisation of theoretical and modelling studies accompanied by experimental research and application. The direct impact of specific technical solutions explored by the team is strongly influenced by the competencies existing in the institutes.
