ATMOS

Project title: Pollutants and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - understanding gas-gas and gas-solid interactions towards a cleaner atmosphere

Reference: H2020-MSCA-RISE-2019-872081-ATMOS

ATMOS designates an international network for a Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) Marie Curie Action.

The main objective is to establish a collaborative effort for the study of scientific problems related to atmosphere pollution elements, with an emphasis on training graduated students in atmospheric sciences. The network comprises twelve scientific groups and 33 senior scientists with a recognized expertise in state-of-the art experimental and theoretical studies of gas phase molecular systems and their interaction with solids. The staff members who participate in the project will develop new skills, be exposed to new research environments and have their career perspectives widened. Earth’s atmosphere is a system very rich in chemical species, some of them well characterized but some of them uncharacterized, their study represents a large scientific effort and many person-months. The ATMOS network will provide scientific exchange fostering a fast and efficient study of many not fully cataloged species and systems.

ATMOS provides a novel multifaceted approach to challenging atmospheric problems covering issues such as detection of trace species, reactivity and photochemistry, and development of new material for gas capture. Partners are European groups from Spain, France, Germany and UK and non-European countries such as Algeria, China, Chile, and Morocco.
