Project description
High-quality data to lift atmospheric processes
Different atmospheric processes are considered responsible for many challenges having societal and environmental impacts. Air pollution, public health, sustainability and climate change represent key issues for a wide range of institutions in the public and private sectors. The EU-funded ACTRIS IMP project promotes a pan-European research infrastructure, the Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS), that produces high-quality data and information on temporary atmospheric components and the processes provoking the variability of these constituents in both natural and controlled atmospheres. Established more than 20 years ago, ACTRIS provides significant information for understanding atmospheric procedures and bio-geochemical relations between atmosphere and environments. ACTRIS IMP aims at a new knowledge that will create the structures for actions on national and EU levels.
Objective
The Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS) is a pan-European research infrastructure producing high-quality data and information on short-lived atmospheric constituents and on the processes leading to the variability of these constituents in natural and controlled atmospheres. Different atmospheric processes are increasingly in the focus of many societal and environmental challenges, such as air quality, health, sustainability and climate change. ACTRIS brings essential information for understanding atmospheric processes and bio-geochemical interactions between the atmosphere and ecosystems. ACTRIS is composed of Observational and Exploratory Platforms, Topical Centres, Data Centre, and Head Office that is coordinating the ACTRIS activities. ACTRIS serves a vast community of users such as scientists, policy makers, private sector, funding organisations and educators.
ACTRIS activity started almost 20 years ago, and currently more than 100 European partners from 22 countries are engaged in building the research infrastructure. ACTRIS was selected to the ESFRI roadmap in 2016 and was granted with EC preparatory phase project funding (ACTRIS PPP) for 2017-2019. Interim ACTRIS Council (IAC), representing the governmental representatives of 16 member countries and one observer country, have submitted the ACTRIS ERIC step 1 documents to EC in Feb 2019. IAC is aiming to establish ACTRIS ERIC in 2021. ACTRIS is entering the implementation phase in 2020. The ACTRIS implementation project, ACTRIS IMP, will take ACTRIS into a new level of maturity and will set the needed structures for the implementation actions, both at the national and European level. ACTRIS IMP builds on three main pillars: securing the long-term sustainability, implementing of ACTRIS functionalities, and positioning ACTRIS in the national, European and international science and innovation landscape. ACTRIS IMP will enable ACTRIS to respond to the users’ needs and requirements.
