WeBaSOOP Workshop, October 21st-22nd, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Čačak, University of Kragujevac

Assessment of particulate matter: Research for monitoring

Open WeBaSOOP Workshop (Hybrid)

Workshop mission statement and target groups: Detailed knowledge of air quality is needed to reduce related health effects. Advanced research and technological infrastructure and availability of suitable monitoring technologies and skills needed for their sustainable operation exist in many countries.

The workshop will give information on the current Serbian and Western Balkan capabilities, and demonstrate the wide range of scientific and technological knowledge and skills involved.

We hope to attract scientific personnel interested in the latest advances in air quality monitoring and analyses, students who are considering their future career options, and the authorities who are ultimately responsible for strategies, plans and legislation on environmental protection, air quality and human health.
