The overarching goal of PANACEA (PANhellenic infrastructure for Atmospheric Composition and climatE change) is the integration of all existing national facilities to create a single harmonized high-class innovative distributed RI to serve and provide access to all academic/ research institutions and the private sector (industry/ SMEs) in the wide scientific range covered by PANACEA.
PANACEA targets at providing state-of- the-science expertise on issues such as climate change, air quality, natural hazards, long-range transport of pollutants and acting as a reference point for environmental disaster management. Drastically improving regional climate projections, facilitating the decision processes for adaptation and mitigation of both public and private sectors, securing the sustainability and growth of key economy sectors (e.g. tourism, health, agriculture and food security, shipping, energy including renewables) under a changing climate (fulfilling national RIS3 priorities) and promoting innovative technological/ instrumental/ computational developments in synergy with local industry and SME’s. PANACEA will act as a hub for the next generation of environmental scientists and attract promising young researchers for research and industry, bridge science with industry and entrepreneurship, induce new local jobs, new investments and market at national, EU and international level, in line with EU priorities.

ACTRIS (Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure) is a pan-European initiative consolidating actions amongst European partners producing high-quality observations of aerosols, clouds and trace gases. Different atmospheric processes are increasingly in the focus of many societal and environmental challenges, such as air quality, health, sustainability and climate change. ACTRIS aims to contribute in the resolving of such challenges by providing a platform for researchers to combine their efforts more effectively, and by providing observational data of aerosols, clouds and trace gases openly to anyone who might want to use them.
