HARMO 24th international conference
Organized by l’École nationale des ponts et chaussées, EDF and Airparif, the 24th edition of the internationale conference HARMO (Harmonisation within Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling for Regulatory Purposes) will take place on our School campus from 14 to 18 June 2027.
The series of international conferences on Harmonisation within Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling for Regulatory Purposes is concerned with the improvement of “modelling culture” both in Europe and at an international level. It is aimed at model developers, model users, environmental protection agencies and legislative experts. Launched in 1991 as a European initiative with a regulatory focus, it has grown to become an open, intercontinental forum.
It brings together around 200 participants from the fields of research, industry, consultancy firms and regulatory authorities. HARMO enables model users and decision-makers to bring their needs to the attention of scientists and to work together to identify better regulatory tools and indicators for air quality impact.
Sessions organized within 10 topics
- Approaches to model evaluation and quality assurance
- Regional / long-range scale modelling
- Urban Scale and Street Canyon Modelling
- Health and exposure assessments
- Inverse modelling, source identification and apportionment
- Dispersion modelling and exposure to accidental releases
- Air pollution management and decision support systems
- Support to EU legislation on air quality modelling
- Theoretical studies on atmospheric processes for dispersion modelling
- Highlights of past works, which should not be forgotten
As well as two special sessions:
- Modelling and measurement of emerging atmospheric pollutants and their indicators
- Machine learning in dispersion modelling
