CALL FOR
The Nineth International WeBIOPATR Workshop and Conference
Particulate Matter: Research and Management
The 9th International WeBIOPATR WORKSHOP AND CONFERENCE, PARTICULATE MATTER: RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT – WeBIOPATR2023, will be held on November 28th– December 1st, 2023. WeBIOPATR2023 will be a “hybrid” meeting. It will simultaneously convene at a physical location in Serbia and as a virtual participation with live stream presentations. Video on demand is being considered.
This bi-annual series of events started in 2007. The aim is to provide an arena for scientists and regulators, for mutual information about advances related to atmospheric particulate matter issues. The topics span sources and their contribution, outdoor and indoor ambient levels, effects on health and ecosystems, and advanced and innovative monitoring techniques and assessment methods. The WeBIOPATR2023 will be held with the support of: Vidis project – Virtual Center for Distributed Atmospheric sensing for reduction of pollution pressures, GA No 952433, H2020 Horizon Framework Programme, European Union and WeBaSOOP project –Research Reinforcing in the Western Balkan in Offline and Online Monitoring and Source Identification of Atmospheric Particles, GA No 101060170 Horizon Europe Framework Programme, European Union.
