The LIFE Programme is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action. One of its funding programmes provides funding for large scale Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) that are aimed at the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of EU environmental policy.
VITO is providing air quality emissions and modelling tools in a capacity building format within two of the most prominent SIPs that are focussing on air quality policy and management in central Europe: LIFE IP Małopolska “Implementation of Air Quality Plan for Małopolska Region” situated in southern Poland and LIFE HUNGAIRY which aims at supporting 10 municipalities in implementing their air quality plans.
