BAE The role of Base molecules in AErosol formation
Coordinator: THE CYPRUS INSTITUTE (CY)
Aerosol formation and growth mechanisms need to be better understood to improve air quality and weather prediction models, and reduce uncertainty of radiative forcing in climate change projections. Globally, half of the aerosol population is formed via gas-to-particle conversion and the fraction exceeds 90% in high latitudes. In many locations, the initial molecular cluster forms from sulphuric acid and ammonia or dimethylamine. Growth to an aerosol particle is often explained by the condensation of sulphuric acid, methanesulfonic acid and highly oxygenated organic compounds. While the roles …
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €2.2M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2023-05-01 to 2028-04-30.
