Objective
TOTECAT aims at being a sound springboard for future world-class researchers and experts in the field of atmospheric chemistry/physics. The earth atmosphere including the impact of human activities on its chemical composition has long been recognized as a so-called "complex" system.
The atmosphere is also clearly a multi-disciplinary field of investigation ranging from chemical reactivity over combustion processes to transport of matter and radiative transfer. TOTECAT will offer to future scientists and engineers the basic knowledge of concepts and offers practical training of various techniques appropriate to tackle scientific or technical problems connected to the chemistry / physics of our changing atmosphere.
The training includes
- background courses in fundamental spectroscopy, chemical reactivity (heterogeneous and gas, combustion), radiative transfer etc.
- practice of a broad range of mainly laser based techniques applied to scientific issues relevant to the atmosphere: laboratory kinetic experiments, in situ monitoring or remote sensing of trace species
- practice of modeling techniques at various scales (from the molecular to the global atmosphere range) of both chemistry (pollution, combustion) and physics (radiation and climate).
The core of the training consortium consists of 17 researchers / teachers from four laboratories located at the host institution USTL (University of Sciences and Technologies, Lille), all labelled by CNRS: PC2A (Physico-Chemistry in Combustion and Atmospheric Processes), PhLAM (Physics of Lasers, Atoms and Molecules), LASIR (Laboratory of Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy) and LOA (Laboratory of Optics of the Atmosphere).
Included in our consortium are two regional inter-related groups: ULCO (University of Littoral, Dunkerque) and EMD (Mining School, Douai), both offering proven expertise and top-level equipment related to atmospheric science and not available at USTL.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
