Summary
Climate change and air quality are key societal challenges. In fact it has become clear over the last decade that the development of our societies cannot be uniquely wealth orientated but that a sustainable development requires an "environmentally friendly" approach. However, such an approach is only possible if scientifically sound knowledge is made available to our societies. Therefore, a scientific programme on Atmospheric Chemistry is believed to respond to issues of strategic importance in European science policy. Accordingly, the ESF Scientific Programme on Atmospheric Chemistry will contribute to strengthening collaborative research, enhancing multidisciplinary in the field and promoting mutual awareness, in timely response to the up-coming research needs of the European countries.
Duration
5 years, from January 2004 to December 2008. Extended to June 2009.
