The EASVOLEE consortium met in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 4–5 March 2026 for the project’s Annual Meeting and General Assembly. Hosted by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the meeting brought together partners from across the consortium to assess the project’s progress and coordinate upcoming activities. Over two days of discussions, partners presented updates on

On Thursday, October 9, EASVOLEE had the pleasure of participating in an exciting learning expedition organized by ONLYLYON Invest, alongside our partner IRCELYON (Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse et l’Environnement de Lyon, CNRS). During the event, Dr. Christian George and his research team presented EASVOLEE’s cutting-edge air quality research in an immersive session at

August 21–22, 2025 — EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland As part of ongoing coordination efforts within Work Package 3 (WP3) of the EASVOLEE project, Prof. Yinon Rudich from the Weizmann Institute of Science visited the Laboratory of Atmospheric Processes and their Impacts (LAPI), led by Prof. Athanasios Nenes at EPFL/FORTH, for a two-day scientific exchange with researchers

The EASVOLEE project successfully participated in the European Aerosol Conference (EAC) 2025, held from August 31 to September 5 in Lecce, Italy. The event brought together around 1,100 participants from across the globe, providing a lively forum for discussions on cutting-edge research in aerosol science and technology, with particular focus on air quality, atmospheric processes,

The 7th of September is the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, also marked globally as #CleanAirDay, and EASVOLEE stands at the forefront of Europe’s effort to combat air pollution and protect public health. The awareness day was established by the United Nations Environment Programme, following UN General Assembly resolution 74/212, to highlight

On Wednesday, 10 December 2025, the EASVOLEE and PAREMPI projects will co-organize a policy workshop on transport emissions in Brussels, Belgium. The upcoming workshop will highlight the both project’s main findings and encourage dialogue on advancing clean air initiatives, particularly in shaping future air quality policies. Save the date and stay tuned — the full

We are pleased to announce that our session, “Transport and Air Pollution: From Real-World Emissions to Their Impacts,” at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2025, which will be held from 27 April to 2 May in Vienna, has received over 60 abstract submissions. Among these, eleven abstracts for both oral and poster presentations

On 5-6 March 2025, the EASVOLEE consortium successfully held its second annual meeting at ICE-HT/FORTH in Patras. The event brought together project partners to evaluate the progress made during the first two years of the project and to plan the next steps. This meeting marked a significant milestone, providing an opportunity for partners to present

In an effort to measure emissions of thousands of vehicles under realistic conditions, concentrations of gas and particulate pollutants, were measured in the Frejus Tunnel that connects France and Italy over a one-month period. These measurements were combined with tunnel traffic data (number of vehicles, vehicle types, and average speed) to calculate the average emission

In the beginning of December, the EASVOLEE project started the campaign of vehicle emission measurements under realistic environments in the biggest indoor parking facility in Patras, Greece. FORTH and PSI teams work together characterizing the emissions of the vehicle fleet focusing on cold start emissions. The chemical aging of these emissions and the production of
