On March 11 and 12, 2025 we will be welcoming the Net4Cities consortium to Berlin for our 2nd consortium meeting. A lot has happened in the past year, mainly focused around getting everything into place for the deployment of the monitoring instrumentation in our 11 partner cities. We have had a lot of discussions with representatives of the city municipalities, port and airport authorities, environmental ministries, among others to understand their interests related to what we can provide in Net4Cities in the context of new and emerging pollutants and transport sources. We have identified synergies and areas of mutual interest where we can move forward together, not to mention a lot of time spent discussing logistics for the instrument deployment. Thanks to the hard work of our consortium members, we are making great progress.
With deployments now underway, we will meet to reflect, discuss, and plan for the next phase of the project. How the monitoring data we will generate will flow into modeling and source apportionment, what the data on new and emerging pollutants is telling us, how we continue to engage with our partner cities, but also cast a wider net to more effectively involve additional interested stakeholders.
We look forward to welcoming our consortium partners to Berlin and thank VDI/VDE-IT for hosting!
