Final conference LIFE CityTRAQ
The VMM, City of Ghent, City of Antwerp, City of Bruges, RIVM and Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service invite you to the final conference of the LIFE CityTRAQ project on 18 June 2026.
After four years of collaboration, research and pilot projects on urban air quality, the end of the LIFE CityTRAQ project approaches. Join us to explore which insights and solutions have proven their value in real-life urban settings, and how local, data‑driven air quality measurements can be scaled up and replicated across Europe.
The final conference will bring together policymakers, researchers, city representatives and professionals to reflect on four years of LIFE CityTRAQ, as well as a myriad of related projects, initiatives and experiences on local data-driven air quality policy. We will share key insights and results, and discuss how pilot projects have improved local air quality and how these can be replicated across the EU. Key domain experts and exemplary projects will enrich the conference and demonstrate it's much more than just a CityTRAQ story.
