The\u00a0\u00a0RI-URBANS<\/a>\u00a0Final Science Meeting\u00a0will take place in\u00a0Barcelona (Spain)\u00a0on\u00a08-9 September 2025\u00a0in\u00a0hybrid format (both online and face-to-face),and it will be followed by the RI-URBANS online webinar\u00a0on\u00a010 September\u00a0to present the 17\u00a0Guidance\u00a0Documents<\/a>\u00a0for the implementation of measurements and modelling for novel air quality pollutants.<\/p>\n RI-URBANS Highlighted in New EU Air Quality Policy Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n In the newly published Guidance Documents from DG ENV on air quality monitoring and modelling, the RI-URBANS project is widely cited. These key documents are now available via the Publications Office of the EU and support the implementation of the revised Ambient Air Quality Directive.<\/p>\n Final RI-URBANS Project Video<\/strong><\/p>\n The RI-URBANS project final video \u201cAdvancing Urban Air Quality Across Europe\u201d, now live on the\u00a0RI-URBANS website<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0ACTRIS YouTube channel<\/a>. This short film highlights the 16 co-designed STs developed by RI-URBANS to support advanced air quality assessment in urban environments. These tools are the result of close collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders, working together to turn cutting-edge research into practical solutions for cleaner, healthier city air. Whether you\u2019re a researcher, decision-maker, or simply passionate about environmental sustainability, this video offers valuable insights into how science is shaping the future of urban air quality.<\/p>\n RI-URBANS Webinar Marked Launch of 17 Novel Air Quality Documents<\/strong><\/p>\n The announces the upcoming webinar to present the sixteen\u00a0Guidance Documents<\/a>\u00a0for the implementation of measurements and modelling for novel air quality pollutants. This short webinar will provide a brief introduction to RI-URBANS, the Service Tools and the \u201cSummary and Added Value\u201d booklet.<\/p>\n On April 16th<\/sup>\u00a02025, the EU Horizon-2020 RI-URBANS project hosted successful webinar to announce the release of 16 Service Tools (STs) and a booklet summarizing their purpose and the added value of implementing them. The event attracted 237 participants from research institutes, universities, and various stakeholder organizations. This event is part of the RI-URBANS project in connection with the new European Air Quality Directive (EU) 2024\/2881. The developed (by RI-URBANS in collaboration with\u00a0ACTRIS<\/a>) guidance documents cover Service Tools (STs) for enhanced air quality assessments. These STs provide actionable recommendations for supersites, including guidance on measurements, source apportionment, health assessment, mapping, and modelling. The webinar opened with a presentation by Xavier Querol (RI-URBANS PI), who introduced the project, outlined the newly launched\u00a0Service Tools<\/a>, and provided an overview of the \u201cSummary and Added Value\u201d\u00a0booklet<\/a>. In the second half, Co-PI Tuukka Pet\u00e4j\u00e4 discussed the collaboration between RI-URBANS, ACTRIS, AQUILA, the European Environment Agency (EEA), and EMEP, highlighting joint training initiatives. The session concluded with an engaging discussion between the PIs and the audience.<\/p>\n\n
