Welcome to the EUROCHAMP-2 WWW Site !

EUROCHAMP-2 is a research project funded within the EC 7th Framework Programme, Section "Support for Research Infrastructures - Integrated Infrastructure Initiative". EUROCHAMP-2 started on May 1, 2009 for a 4 year period. It is the successor of EUROCHAMP-1, from June 1, 2004 until May 31, 2009.

Today 14 European Partners are the backbone of this project, which developed a grid of environmental chambers designed for the the scientific investigation of atmospheric chemical processes.
EUROCHAMP aimes to make better use of these expensive facilities by breaking down boundaries between national research institutions and opening up access to a wider range of researchers.

The EUROCHAMP project has been a success story from its beginning in June 2004. A huge database on environmental chamber experiments has been developed, which is currently being used by many scientists also from outside the consortium for the development and improvement of chemical mechanisms describing the degradation of atmospheric pollutants. Furthermore, within the frame of the project several novel analytical techniques for the detection of trace gases and particulates in the atmosphere have been developed and will be deployed in the future in experiments. In addition, a constant stream of peer-reviewed publications results from the project.
