EC-ESA World Emission: Fourth Stakeholder Workshop
30 January 2025
- Paris and online
The European Space Agency (ESA)’s World Emission project held the fourth Stakeholder Workshop on the 30th of January 2025. This workshop focused on the assessment of the World Emission operational service as well as to discuss the World Emission phase 3 plans and understand user needs and requirements. The workshop involved National Inventories Agencies and international experts, national (local and regional) and international reporting authorities, researchers, and policy bodies.
Several experts associated to the AVENGERS project took part. More infomration is available at this link
Nordic Society for Aerosol Research Symposium
22-24 January 2025
- Aarhus University, Denmark
NOSA has arranged a Nordic Aerosol Symposium annually since 1978. These symposia bring together members from all the research fields of aerosol science and typically members from most departments/institutes/research groups with aerosol-relevant research – not only from the Nordic countries but throughout the world.
August Thomasson, PhD student from Lund University associated to AVENGERS attended. More information at this link.
9-13 December 2024
- Washington, D.C., USA
AGU Annual Meeting 2024
The AGU Annual Meeting is the largest international gathering of Earth and space scientists, organised by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). It brings together researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and students to share the latest scientific discoveries and advancements in geophysics, environmental science, climate science, planetary science, oceanography, and related disciplines.

AVENGERS/CMCC webinar on emission estimates
23 October 2024
- Online webinar, 15:00 – 16:00 CET
A second free webinar on Making top-down emission estimates relevant for national inventory teams – lessons learned from the UK and Switzerland was organised as part of the AVENGERS project, in collaboration with CMCC.
Estimating greenhouse gas emissions by atmospheric observations and inverse modelling (top-down) has become an important research tool, applied to different gases and on various scales. Comparisons with reported (bottom-up) inventories can reveal significant differences in magnitude and trends that require an in-depth discussion between the two communities.

EMME-CARE 3rd Annual Online Scientific Workshop
7 November 2023
- Online
The Climate and Atmosphere Research Center (CARE-C) of the Cyprus Institute, and its Advanced Partners, organised the 3rd Annual Scientific Workshop on Climate and Atmosphere Research & Innovation in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region, on Tuesday 7 November 2023. See this link for more details and program.
The AVENGERS project presented the plans to develop an easy-to-use Flexible Inversion Tool for Inventory Compilers (FIT-IC) for use by inventory compilers (with a slide from this presentation on FIT-IC used in this web story announcing the inclusion of CARE-C as a Hop-On partner in AVENGERS)
AVENGERS/CMCC webinar on Inverse Modelling
24 October 2023
- Online webinar, 12:30 – 13:30 CET
A free webinar on inverse modelling is organised as part of the AVENGERS project, in collaboration with CMCC.
Inverse modelling is a methodical approach for better quantifying the variables governing a physical system, using observations of that system, and therefore optimising the estimates of the variables. With the objective of reducing uncertainties of national greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventories, inverse models are used to reconcile reported emissions with independent information from atmospheric observations.
