ACTRIS as a Platform for Innovation

Advancing atmospheric research through cutting-edge technology, collaboration, and industry partnerships.

 

ACTRIS strives at embracing the framework conditions that are the main drivers of EU innovation performance: human resources, attractive research system, specifically in atmospheric and environmental science, and innovation-friendly environment.

ACTRIS works towards the development of an innovation platform to stimulate a more open technology transfer approach within ACTRIS, for disseminating relevant research outputs on atmospheric science to the private sector and for enhancing the collaboration between National and Central Facilities operators and the private sector.

Why Innovation Matters

A potential large market exists in Europe for improving air pollution control and monitoring, use of renewable energy, and developing cost-effective and innovative instrumentation. ACTRIS plays a crucial role in advancing atmospheric research by fostering innovation in measurement technologies, data services, and collaborative partnerships. By bridging scientific research with industry and policymakers, ACTRIS accelerates the development of novel solutions for climate and air quality monitoring. ACTRIS provides an enabling environment for new opportunities of innovation and transfer of knowledge with the private sector. 

 

How ACTRIS Supports Innovation

ACTRIS Facilities provide unique insights into new or existing products, help resolve technical uncertainties, and enable innovation, thus supporting pre-competitive and pre-commercial R&D. European, national and international businesses take advantage of experimental test sites and calibration centers for advancing their knowledge-based activities. ACTRIS Facilities and private companies can also propose collaboration for participating in problem-solving and product development to create innovation (Open Innovation approach).  Co-development  is implemented via collaborations and services accessed through the ACTRIS Catalogue of Services.
