Young Investigator Network event: Round table discussions
Date: Tuesday August 27th
Time: 18:15-21:00
Place: Conference Venue, Room F5
Price: No cost (Sponsored by GAeF and TSI)
Pre-registration is mandatory
The Early Career Scientist board within the Nordic Society for Aerosol Research (NOSA) have the pleasure to invite all young investigators (PhD-students and post-docs) to participate in round table discussions on two subjects: (1) Implicit biases in academia and (2) Science communication.
The event will start by an introduction to each of the subjects followed by discussions in smaller groups. After the round table discussions, food and drinks will be served with a chance for further discussions and mingling.
(1) Implicit biases in academia. Studies repeatedly show that the exact same CV is judged very differently dependent on the name on it. Female and minority sounding names are significantly less likely to get replies than Caucasian males when contacting potential mentors. This is no less true in academia than other parts of society. What biases do we have? How do we become aware and work against them?
(2) Science communication – how to communicate our knowledge efficiently? How can we find a good balance between detail and accuracy? Is there a conflict between being seen as a “neutral” scientist and advocating specific policies?
Introductory speakers
Torgny Roxå is an associate professor at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University where he works as an educational developer. He has a special interest in gender issues and arranges workshops for different departments in this area.
Stephany Buenrostro Mazon is a PhD student at the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research at the University of Helsinki. She believes in communicating science in a way that is efficient and useful to a broader audience. She has given public talks on the importance of science communication and is organising a project to take science to the streets through urban art.

Volvo Cars Workshop
Date: Wednesday August 28th
Time: 12:40-14:00
Place: Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre, Room R14
Volvo Cars has the pleasure to welcome you to a workshop concerning the in-car measurement of particles. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss measurement technologies, precision, and how the result of measurements like this can be put in a larger context.
The workshop is divided into two parts. One more practical, where we present how air is transported into a vehicle and how measurements can be carried out inside. Here we will have a demonstration vehicle to look at, containing different measurement equipment. Measurements can be carried out both in stationary and moving vehicles, and both are discussed during the workshop. The second part of the workshop starts with a presentation around the different equipment that has been used, along with a short presentation around the kind of data we have collected. This will then form the basis for an open discussion.
Coffee and a sandwich will be provided at the start of the workshop
We look forward to seeing you and having a fruitful discussion and starting new collaborations!

EAC2019 delegates register here!
Solutions Initiative Form (SIF) – Air is an action-oriented event where entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, businesses, civil society, policy makers and academia come together to promote solutions to air pollution.
Air pollution is a global challenge for human health and sustainable development as it causes 7 million deaths every year. SIF Air will present a set of selected hands-on solutions that originates from Nordic countries and that have potential positive effects on global air quality. At the event we want to discuss barriers and opportunities to scale up these air quality solutions. The event is also the launch of the “Air Solutions Report”, describing the challenge of air pollution for the Sustainable Development Goals, the SDGs, as well as the concepts of the selected solutions and their impacts on the SDGs.
Follow the discussions and stay connected via @SDSNNE #SIFAir.
SIF Air is organized by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in Northern Europe and the Gothenburg Air and Climate Network .
Workshop on Advanced Carbonaceous Aerosol Speciation: Science, Technology and Applications
Date: Wednesday, August 28th 2019
Time: 13:15-17:00
Place: The Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre, Room A7
Price: No cost (Sponsored by Magee Scientific Co./Aerosol d.o.o.)
Pre-registration is mandatory via this link.
Magee Scientific has always been closely with research into carbonaceous aerosols. Dr. Tony Hansen started his career at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab in 1977; developed the Aethalometer in 1979; and founded Magee Scientific in 1986. Aethalometers were used in cooperative programs over the entire globe to demonstrate the ubiquity and dispersion of Black Carbon aerosols. Aerosol Company was founded in Europe in 2007 to focus exclusively on fundamental research into carbonaceous aerosols, and to develop and commercialize equipment for monitoring and research. Over the intervening years our portfolio has expanded to cover all aspects of Carbonaceous Aerosol Speciation with both off-line and on-line (real time) instruments.
The latest developments for Organic/Elemental speciation are the Carbonaceous Aerosol Speciation System (CASS) – a robust and reliable system providing real-time data on BC, BrC, EC, OC and TC; and the DRI2015 multi-wavelength offline thermal analyzer.
This workshop will present topics on OC/EC speciation; optical properties of primary and secondary aerosols and source apportionment; and leading-edge developments together with Rostock University in the coupling of multi-wave thermal analysis to Photoionisation-MS.
This workshop will present valuable information for anyone in the research and monitoring communities who is interested in carbonaceous aerosols: source apportionment, optical properties, on-line and off-line instrumentation, spectrometry, Brown Carbon characterization, etc.
Confirmed talks will be given by the following scientists:
Prof. Dr. Ralf Zimmermann, University of Rostock and Helmholtz Zentrum München, GERMANY
Adding a chemical dimension: Coupling of the DRI thermo-optical carbon analyzer (TOCA) to photoionisation mass spectrometry (PIMS)
Prof. Judith C. Chow, Desert Research Institute, USA
Separation of Brown and Black Carbon in PM2.5 Filter Samples using Multiwavelength
Thermal/Optical Carbon Analysis
Prof. John G. Watson, Desert Research Institute, USA
Application of Multiwavelength Measurements for Source Apportionment
Prof. Griša Močnik, Josef Stefan Institute, SLOVENIA
Absorption of primary and secondary aerosols – chamber and ambient measurements
The session will include a coffee break during the workshop, and a small social gathering with food and drink at the end.
We look forward to meeting you!
