PROJECT SUMMARY

11 February 2024

OBJECTIVES

What do you want to achieve by implementing the project?

The development of online technologies, cloud systems and IoT brings to the fore new opportunities to collect data, but the development of skills and abilities to process, evaluate and understand them effectively is often absent. This is also the case of one of the critical environmental areas, which is air quality. The aim is to strengthen the skills and knowledge base of students and teachers of HEIs to work with big data for air quality to investigate its impact on the population health.

IMPLEMENTATION

What activities are you going to implement?

Universities will involve students to summarize available and new knowledge on air quality (big data), identify the environmental, economic and social consequences and health risks of air pollution based on collected data, and prepare proposals and concepts to improve air quality. They will develop a model for simplified data presentation and interpretation. The consortium will develop digital competences and know-how on the use of innovative tools and their connection to environmental issues.

RESULTS

What project results and other outcomes do you expect your project to have?

The outputs are a synthesis of knowledge and data on air quality in 4 countries, a methodological guide on their measurement, and research results on perception of air quality and the environment. They will provide information on air sample content, statistics on the impact of pollution on health, data presentation concepts. A manual of procedures on air pollution reduction will be developed, with a control system for health protection. The outputs will be included in educational workshops.
