A practical visual reading of the call’s intervention logic, consortium needs, expected outputs and route to impact.

Who is it for?

Atmospheric-science and modelling teams; Cities, regions and air-quality authorities; Health, environment, data and policy organisations. The strongest consortia will connect these capabilities around a clearly defined need rather than assemble partners only to satisfy formal eligibility.

What does the call support?

Improve integration of emissions, atmospheric processes and exposure.

Connect models operating across spatial and temporal scales.

Translate evidence into actionable air-quality plans.

What are the key requirements?

Proposal perspective

A competitive proposal must connect the topic’s expected outcomes to a focused intervention logic, credible partners, measurable results and a convincing route to uptake. Scope, eligibility and all special conditions should be checked against the official topic text before consortium commitments are made.

Timeline and next steps

The topic is scheduled to open on 19 April 2027 and the deadline is 22 September 2027. Prospective applicants should use the preparation period to confirm fit, shape the core concept, identify the capabilities required and build the work plan around the expected outcomes.

EXELIXIS can support call interpretation, concept positioning, consortium architecture, proposal development, impact pathways and coordination of partner contributions.
