Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) funding programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which targets the sectors of research and innovation. The programme’s budget is around € 95.5 billion, of which € 5.4 billion is from NextGenerationEU to stimulate recovery and strengthen the EU’s resilience in the future, and € 4.5 billion is additional aid.
Air quality is primarily monitored in outdoor locations, often for regulatory targets compliance purposes. Ιmproving outdoor air quality leads to general improvements of indoor air quality as well, certain sources of air pollution not covered by ambient air quality standards can dominate in some indoor environments. In addition to identifying determinants for indoor air quality, it is important to assess their health impacts in the levels reached indoors to facilitate setting of purposeful indoor air quality standards. This topic aims at supporting activities that are enabling or contributing to one or several expected impacts of destination 2 ‘Living and working in a health-promoting environment’.
Applicants should propose research actions that advance the understanding of the indoor air quality and related health and safety issues and should include all of the following activities:
Proposals should ensure that chemical monitoring data are shared in IPCHEM through involvement with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).
All projects funded under this topic are strongly encouraged to participate in networking and joint activities, as appropriate.
Proposals are expected to include a budget for the attendance to regular joint meetings and may consider to cover the costs of any other potential joint activities without the prerequisite to detail concrete joint activities at this stage.
