ICARUS Integrated Climate forcing and Air pollution Reduction in Urban Systems

Coordinator: ARISTOTELIO PANEPISTIMIO THESSALONIKIS (EL)

ICARUS will develop innovative tools for urban impact assessment in support of air quality and climate change governance in the EU. This will lead to designing and implementing win-win strategies to improve the air quality and reduce the carbon footprint in European cities. An integrated approach will be used for air pollution monitoring and assessment combining ground-based measurements, atmospheric transport and chemical transformation modelling and air pollution indicators derived from satellite, airborne and personal remote sensing. The ICARUS methodology and toolkit will be applied in ni…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €6.5M toward a total project budget of €6.8M — a funding rate of 95%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 4.5 years from 2016-05-01 to 2020-10-31.
