Assessing the effect of airport operations on air quality and noise in nearby communities

In short

This is a Research and Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €7 million for about 2 grants of €3.5 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Submission opens on 15 December 2026. Deadline: 14 April 2027.

What the call wants to achieve

• Assessment of the impact of airport operations on air quality and water bodies (including biodiversity) through air quality measurements and monitoring at different spots in and around the airports as well as through in vitro testing and/or remote sensing for water quality in airports close to water bodies
• Contributing to the delivery of better emission factors for emissions inventories and projections (including EMEP), especially for species and fuel mixtures for which little knowledge exists today in order to support local, regional, national and international emissions reduction plans (e.g. Noise Plans, Air Quality (…)
• Recommendations for improved measurement certification and testing to better cover real world situations.
• Develop a methodology to assess the health impact (both the nature, seriousness and number of people at risk) of the measured pollutants and noise in airports or at the nearby urban environment and apply it to the test sites.
