Descrizione del progetto
Una nuova ventata per la tecnologia di monitoraggio dell’inquinamento atmosferico
La qualità dell’aria costituisce ancora un pericolo per la salute, gli ecosistemi e il clima in Europa, nonostante decenni di sviluppi positivi. Dall’adozione della prima legislazione europea sull’aria ambiente, le conoscenze di processo si sono ampliate, le tecnologie di osservazione da remoto e in situ hanno subito sviluppi notevoli e sono emerse nuove e potenti infrastrutture TIC. Le tecnologie di rilevamento a basso costo hanno permesso un cambiamento di paradigma nel monitoraggio della qualità dell’aria, innescando nuove esigenze di ricerca e opportunità per il sostegno di nuove abilità. Il progetto VIDIS, finanziato dall’UE, darà origine a un partenariato strategico tra l’Istituto VINCA (Serbia) e controparti internazionali di spicco, note per la ricerca sul rilevamento a basso costo, tra cui ENEA (Italia), NILU (Norvegia), QUT (Australia), con l’obiettivo di generare conoscenza e approcci per la diffusione consistente delle nuove tecnologie.
Obiettivo
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.
