June 16-18, Milan, Italy
The 2025 project Consortium meeting took place at ARIANET Headquarters over three days. Partners attended in person and online and presented the status of their work, starting with WP 1 on Monday afternoon.
Each work package discussed ongoing issues and slots were allocated for cross-cutting issues as well.
Partners present in person: ARIANET (hosts), BSC, Charles University (coordinator), CSIC, ECMWF, FMI, KNMI, SEI, University of Hamburg, University of Helsinki, WEMC, WMO
The meeting was followed by a stakeholder meeting with colleagues from local air quality agencies of ARPA Lombardia and ARPA Piemonte. FOCI partners presented FOCI workplan and the impacts of non-CO2 forcers on air quality impacts, based on preliminary results. WP 5 colleagues presented results related to agriculture emissions, including the impacts of potential reduction measures, as ARPA colleagues are regularly confronted with severe air pollution in the nearby Po Valley, a dense agricultural zone.
ARPA colleagues also presented results from their own air quality simulations and were interested to hear about how FOCI planned to further engage with stakeholders.
